Online outage monitor DownDetector says it began receiving hundreds of reports since around midday today.

While Glasgow appears to be the worst hit area, users have reported problems with accessing services in other areas.

Fuming customers fear they could be left without internet for days, with outages also reported in Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Paisley and Renfrew.

Virgin said technicians are in the area working to resolve the fault and restore internet access to customers.
