The broadband service run by mobile firm Orange is experiencing a "major" national outage.
The problem occurred on Monday afternoon, affecting 100,000 broadband subscribers at its peak.
A spokesperson for the company said the fault on the service, formerly known as Wanadoo, was caused by a "network equipment failure".
Orange said they were working to fix the problem but there is no indication when a normal service will resume.
