VIRGIN and Sky broadband are DOWN as customers are reporting problems with their internet.

And 78 per cent of Virgin customers are reporting problems with their cable internet.

A number of furious customers took to social media to report problems, with many complaining that they were unable to work from home.

One poster said they had had problems with both their Virgin internet and TV package for two weeks.

Another said they are finding the service is "down most days".

Sky customers were not faring much better, with a number reporting problems on Twitter, including a number from Northern Ireland.

Maps from Down Detector, which tracks customer complaints, show the problems are widespread.
