Why Verizon's network is so slow right now, and how to fix it

Verizon users across the U.S. are reporting slow data speeds, laggy connections, and delayed text messages for weeks.

Recent complaints have spiked, suggesting the problem may be widespread rather than isolated.

Some users suspect Verizon’s standalone 5G rollout is contributing to the issue.

Temporary relief has come from switching to 5G SA or turning off 5G to fall back to 4G.
