For most of yesterday afternoon, the Verizon wireless network in
Raleigh, North Carolina was out of service.
I first notice that I could not make calls around 2 PM, and I assumed
I'd forgotten to pay the bill, but a local radio station announced
that Verizon's cellular network was out of order. I wasn't able to use
my cell phone again untill after 5 PM.
Does anyone have more details on the outage?

crew inadvertently severing a Time-Warner Cable fiber line. That line
was also used to provide backhaul service for various local Verizon
towers.
