People across the UK are continuing to experience issues with broadband and mobile phone connections with Virgin Media.
It's the second day in a row that users have experienced difficulty connecting in the UK's major cities including London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol.
Thousands of problems were reported on Wednesday, and it looks like as of 12pm on Thursday, the problems have arisen again.
According to Downdetector, a website which collects user reports to show where problems are occurring with different network providers and websites has seen a rise in problems with Virgin Media over the last week.

Today's outage began just after 9am, and most users appear to be reporting problems relating to their internet connection.
It comes as people across Britain are being asked to work from home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Anyone who is experiencing issues with Virgin Media should check Virgin Media's website to see if it is a local issue.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
