it's all a conspiracy by lawn gnomes trying to besmirch the impeccable reputation of Verizon.

Verizon knows no one will believe them that At&t hired out the race of Lawn Gnomes to assault Big red network. Get ready for your tin foil hat guys because Verizon is DOWN!

Verizon generally never admits anything is wrong unless the problem is so massive that it is impossible to deny.

A Verizon service outage is not at all unusual, it happens all the time....but they rarely admit it publicly.
