Reported to me by subscribers in the area and confirmed by the emergency communication below, Verizon 1x, 3G, and LTE services are unavailable since ~10 hours ago in Keweenaw County and part or all of Houghton County, Michigan. Handsets and other devices display "No Service" in the affected areas. To the best of my knowledge, VZW has not released an ETR. --- 9-1-1 CELL PHONE OUTAGE EMERGENCY THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE HOUGHTON COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGER. A SEVERED FIBER OPTIC CABLE BY BUMBLETOWN ROAD HAS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF VERIZON AND FRONTIER CELL PHONE SERVICES THIS EVENING IN HOUGHTON AND KEWEENAW COUNTIES.
