According to what the company's customers stated, they did not have access to the internet, as a result of problems that apparently arose in the network.

The company asked those who complained on Twitter to check its service status page, which notifies them of any outages, but some said they were unable to access that site either.

As reported by DownDetector, the issue arose yesterday afternoon, at around 1:00 PM UK time.

The outage affected users across the country, in cities including Nottingham, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, while some users in Glasgow and Belfast were also affected.

78 percent of users experienced an interruption in their wired internet, 18 percent experienced problems with their mobile data, while a small percentage of three percent of users had no TV signal.

It is still unclear what led to the outage, but the company stated that it was a local issue that has now been resolved.

In a statement, a Virgin Media spokesperson said: "We have fixed the local issue which resulted in our customers in the Nottingham area temporarily losing their broadband services. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused."

However, this is not the first time Virgin Media has faced such an issue. Just last month, the service was again down for users across the country.

In 2018, it was reported that Virgin Media serves 5.9 million internet users across the country and provides support to 3.1 million mobile customers.
