A major Sky broadband outage was being reported today across Greater Manchester and in other parts of the north west.
Customers in Manchester have taken to social media to report 'a widespread outage', with the issue also understood to be affecting homes and businesses in Salford, Bolton and Wigan, together with addresses in Lancashire.
Websites set up to monitor and publicise outages have reported a surge in problem reports submitted to Sky. The reported outage - on the second day of the half-term break - follows news the Meta-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp was down this morning with people unable to send or receive messages.
