Thousands of TalkTalk users hit by internet problems

Tens of thousands of TalkTalk customers reported problems with their internet connection on Friday morning.

TalkTalk's Twitter feed was flooded with reports from users trying to work from home without internet. The firm said the problem was fixed at around 11:30 BST, but it did not provide any details about the cause.

At the time, Virgin blamed the problem on "a technical fault in our core network".
