Very same problem you described here on the north shore of Long Island.  It's been intermittent all morning but connectivity is broken more than working.

I'm actually using at&t cellular data to enter this message.  I can't connect to this site via a hardwired connection to my FiOS router.

I spent a while talking to a helpful Verizon tech support guy on the phone.  After numerous standard troubleshooting steps I asked him to hold and I called a neighbor who has FiOS.  He confirmed he, the neighbor, was having the same issues this morning.  That changed the direction the tech support agent was going.  He was then able to confirm an area problem, although he didn't say how wide the area was.

Tech support did open a trouble ticket which says it will be closed by 5:00 PM on 7/7.  I hope it doesn't take that long but at least it confirms Verizon is aware of the problem and is working on it.

Keeping my fingers crossed the fix happens sooner rather than later.

edit/update:  I'm able to sign on to the forum via FiOS now, and when I did I got this notice:
