DD, Try restarting your phone.

Verizon is still out for me. My phone shows three bars, but no connection. Only wifi calling is working here.

Verizon is back up

YES! Mrs B and maybe champagne!

Time to break out the party hats Van😂

Trail Rider - We use Viasat, it is like starlink and has been around longer, haven't had many issues with it lately

Yay! Mrs B!

Woohoo 🎉 Power is back on! And we have wifi. We do have TMobile which has been having issues but the wifi will save us. Oh happy day 😊. And you’re right Van, those linemen were tenacious!

Poor san g cam was snowed over too...

We lost our Cams and Scanner Live Feeds at the top of Goldmine Mountain at about 10:45am or so.... Something went awry!

Ive had verizon for ten years at least, first outage for me, theyre always rock solid...

Verizon seems to be down, anybody else? No phone, no data but i can text. On wifi now...

Hey everyone. Just a heads-up...Verizon wireless crapped out this morning. From Verizon website:

Data, Voice, and Text services are limited.

Does anyone use an Ecoflow battery/solar based generator? Wondering what your experience is with it up here on the mountain. Thanks!

we do stream a lot on starlink but just one device at a time usually and it seems to work fine I'm not sure if its the same speed here in the US but we pay for the slowest service.
