Telecom operator Verizon Communication Inc's services were also down for nearly 5,400 users at its peak, at 10 am ET, according to Downdetector.
Verizon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from a series of sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform. The outages might be affecting a larger number of users.
