Verizon Fios is experiencing an Internet outage making it impossible to access many websites after a fiber connection was cut in Brooklyn. The outage is affecting locations in the northeast of the United States, including Washington DC, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusets. Verizon suggests using the My Fios app for outage updates, but the outage is causing the app not to work. Verizon’s support account has stated that the fiber cut was fixed at approximately 4pm EST and that service should be restored.
