Cell Phones, Internet After Hurricane Sandy: What You Need To Know:

 "Verizon, which provides Internet and telephone services and is the largest wireless carrier in the United States, was hit extremely hard in New York and New Jersey. According to Reuters, flooding from the storm damaged telecom equipment in three of Verizon's major switching offices, located in lower Manhattan, Queens and Long Island. The failure of these centers completely wiped out non-emergency service in those areas. Network issues persist in the Northeast.

Wind and flooding disrupted or knocked out service for AT&T Inc, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile, and weather-related issues plagued the networks after the storm passed."
