VIRGIN Media and Sky customers are reporting issues across Dorset this morning.


A number of customers have taken to Twitter to report issues with their broadband connection overnight.


Service checker websites say Bournemouth and Southampton are among the most reported locations for issues within the past 24 hours.

Datacenta Hosting, which specialises in website and server hosting for Dorset businesses, said on Twitter at 1.23am this morning: "Just before midnight we received reports of a large #virginmedia outage which also impacts Ethernet services in this area. We understand engineering teams are investigating the matter."


In an update this morning at 6.50am, the company said: "Virgin Media outage update: 11 Tubes on the 160 fibre are carrying traffic and they are currently prepping the 96 fibre in place for the original change to move service across to and should be completed at 07:00. Once prepping is complete splicing can begin."



Meanwhile Sky has reported that customers across the South East of England and the Isle of Wight may not be able to get online or make or receive calls.


Virgin Media have been contacted for details.

The children were lined up in the cafe of a school for lunch.

At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.

The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray, “Take only one. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

One child whispered to another, “Take all you want ..........

God is watching the apples."
