It was lazy indians that caused it. The 15' tall gerbil wheel with 6 indians running inside it is connected to a generator outside the data center and is used to provide backup power. They weren't running fast enough to generate the 1.21 Gigawatts to power the data centers flux capacitor.
Hey cum-on lets at least applaud Verizon for being consistent.
My guess is offshore support f'ed it up. I wouldn't let those idiots change batteries in a flashlight.
Life is easier when things just work.
Looks like they did a BRT battery run down or building black out routine and something went wrong.

Forgot to turn the rectifiers back on after the BRT seen that before.

During the blackout Generator did not start or transfer switch failed.

Verizon has always cheeped out on the power plants.
Jet Blue relies on Verizon? Well now there are 2 reasons I won't fly Jet Blue.
1 How reliable can their service (and most likely maintenance) be if the rely on Verizon.
2 I won't do business with Verizon directly. And if I can avoid supporting them indirectly, I'll do that too.
"power failure" at an unknown data center? you can tell when its a verizon lie. or as we are now known to some in the industry "verliezon."
we should buy jet blue and then sell it for a 80% loss and say fuel prices are not what we thought and this would be better in the hands of someone else.
then lowell can have another double digit raise.
Better Matters...? I bet that came from a fortune cookie diego ate...
You can bet this is the tip of the iceberg. The quality of Verizon services will continue to decline and the top execs are probably already looking for a profitable way for themselves to exit stage left.
If you haven't dumped you Verizon stock yet, better start doing so post-haste
Maybe we should buy JetBlue and add them to the rest of our multi-billion $$$ mismanagement.
And it begins...
JetBlue and Verizon deserve each other
