Key Factors

Verizon Communications is offering $20 account credits to customers affected by a nationwide wireless outage that impacted 2.3 million users and lasted approximately 11 hours. The outage-related credits could cost Verizon up to $647 million if all 32 million consumer postpaid wireless accounts are affected. Verizon's 2021 dividend expenses totaled $5.2 billion, significantly higher than the potential $647 million in rebate costs from the outage.
