PEOPLE across the UK have been unable to access the internet today due to problems with Sky Broadband.
It appeared outages were reported yesterday evening, Wednesday, and they still appeared to be down this afternoon - affecting customers in Warrington.

However, Sky have confirmed the problem is solved this evening.
