On average, this covers multiple days of service. Our business customers will be contacted directly about their credits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Verizon added that the &#8220;credit isn&#8217;t meant to make up for what happened. No credit really can. But it&#8217;s a way of acknowledging our customers&#8217; time and showing that this matters to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the outage remains unclear. In a statement provided Thursday night, a Verizon spokesperson described it as a &#8220;software issue&#8221; and said the company was &#8220;conducting a full review of what happened.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company said that while the outage has been resolved, customers who continue to experience issues should restart their devices to reconnect to the network.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Verizon did not indicate how many customers were affected, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/downdetector.com\/status\/verizon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Downdetector<\/a>, which tracks such outages, showed that up to 180,000 users across the U.S. reported issues with the mobile network on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
