Looks like issues at Verizon... maybe the transition to Frontier (which is supposed to close April 1st) isn't going well...

Edit: Looks like Miami is a focal point, too, and Florida is, of course, one of the regions being acquired by Frontier in just a few days...

Edit 2: Random aside, headline is rather editorialized. These outages aren't "across the internet". They appear to affect a single operator in a couple of major regions.

I think Frontier is acquiring just Verizon's local network; no backhaul or anything.

Possibly related: Frontier, at least in my area, went down last night for a few hours.
