Many Sussex residents are believed to be struggling to access the internet as reports of issues with Virgin Media come in.

The mass broadband outage comes as many people are relying on their broadband as they work from home.

Responding to people on social media, a spokesman for Virgin Media said the company was aware of the fault and is working to resolve it.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
