The 911 PSAP trunks / lines are provided by the LEC to the 911 center in most cases. If there aren't any other LECs near by then yes the 911 PSAPs could be without service. Not to mention that the radio traffic for some radio systems might travel over parts of the VZ network that are damaged.

So I'm skeptical about the truth of this comment, and I'm wondering if someone could set me a bit straighter:
"These reckless perpetrators are risking the lives of countless Americans by cutting access to key lines of communications, especially to local police, fire and rescue personnel."
Don't the local lines to police / fire go through the 911 dispatch? Wouldn't that be a municipal (city-owned) communications platform? If this is the case, wouldn't landline calls to 911 still work just fine?
Wouldn't a non-Verizon cellphone still also be able to get a call through?

Anyone aware of any known outages/issues for FIOS? Have a handful of customers in northern NJ with business FIOS with 50%+ packet loss on all verizon hops. We have checked these customers and theres no congestion on their networks.
We're aware of the Verizon strike in progress and wondering if maybe some repair or maintenance is not being done because of the strike?

If anyone from VZ has ability to dig deeper or if anyone else is seeing
similar issues would be good to hear.
