Keegan Acton (@keeganacton), a lifestyle vlogger on TikTok, recently found herself in a hilarious yet frustrating situation due to a major Verizon outage.
During the blackout, which lasted hours, Verizon’s service was down across many regions, impacting text, call, and data services.
Keegan was texting a friend and, after not receiving any responses, sent a cheeky “Are you ignoring me?” message, thinking it was all in good fun.
However, once Verizon’s service was restored, that one text message didn’t just go through—it was sent 22 times over the course of the night.

Keegan even joked about wanting to “sue” Verizon over the incident, calling it “criminal,” adding a lighthearted edge to her rant, which is going viral with hundreds of thousands of views at time of publishing.
