The cell grid is actually very fragile. Ingenious and hi-tech, but fragile. Would/will be very easy to interfere with or break by several means. FCC would be involved for a number of potential reasons, including signal interference by unauthorized transmitters. I am not sure what role they would play in the event it was system hackers, but certainly that would be criminal.

I just did an Ookla speed test with my VZ phone and got 148 Mbps download out in the Alabama boonies (after turning off my wi-fi so I’d be testing the cell connection).

There is a massive nationwide Verizon Wireless outage.
It seems random and not related to your location or even plan.
For example, I don’t have coverage, but both my son and wife do.
It looks related to the ESIM in some way.
I went to a local store, and they said they have no idea how to fix or even what is causing it.

I still have a land-line and will continue to do so. ...I have an old push button phone if the remote goes down too. Has saved the day more than once!
