" Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it as well as we'll get it repaired as quickly as we can," the message checks out.

The blackout began at around 5.30 pm BST however, for most customers, showed up to have actually been settled around 20 mins after.

Down Detector, which collates reports of prominent services being down, presented failures in the UK, Europe and also the US.

Obviously, people required to Twitter to have their say.
