By Jeff Edwards MOUNT VERNON, NY - City officials in Mount Vernon say a weekend fire at an underground Verizon facility briefly disrupted emergency 911 services. Emergency calls are again being answered, but as many as 21,000 customers in Mount Vernon, Yonkers and Bronxville lost phone/internet/cable service on Friday. On Saturday, 900 business and residential customers were still waiting for service to be restored. https://patch.com/new-york/mountvernonny/fire-verizon-hub-disrupts-emergency-911-service

By Roger Cheng One of the key traits of 5G is the ability to cut down on the latency, or lag time, on apps like Fortnite or streaming services like Netflix. The idea is, you tap your phone and it instantly responds. But there's another technology that works in concert with 5G called mobile edge computing. https://www.cnet.com/news/verizon-business-ceo-on-what-the-heck-is-mobile-edge-computing/

These two phones now work with Verizon's 5G network when you use an unlocked handset with a Verizon SIM. It's arguably a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place, but we're glad that it's been resolved so quickly after the phone's launch. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/oneplus-9-just-got-a-big-5g-boost-heres-why
