Thousands of Verizon customers across the U.S. are unable to make calls and texts after the network suffered an outage, with some criticizing the provider’s lack of updates as “shameful.”

More than 23,000 people reported an outage with Verizon, according to the website Down Detector, which started Saturday at around noon E.T. and is ongoing in certain places.

Almost 60 percent of the outage reports were for mobile devices, with 40 percent of those reporting having no signal, according to Down Detector.

2. Problems all day. Verizon Internet is like it's 1999.

So ready to ditch them, and the landline too. But it's such a pain to update all personal info everywhere.

12. Verizon is so slow it won't complete a speed test

Pages have been half-loading for a week. One speed test diagnosed "network issue".

I mean it this time. Verizon has got to go. I don't have many options but wireless is worth a try.

4. After 2 outages in the last month,

I switched to ATT.
Good timing on my part.
Much cheaper. Now Verizon is kissing my ass to come back.
They overcharged me for years. AMF!

Verizon used to be the best. Not any longer.

11. I left AT&T internet years ago because my service was down

and they transferred me to 4 different people, the last of whom was the first person I spoke with.
I hung up, cancelled service and went with another company. I'll never use them after that experience.
