“We are working to fix this issue as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience.”

A resident from Tangmere said: “We’ve been without Wi-Fi since early this morning and it is still down.

“It seems to be very widespread. We’ve been shopping in Chichester city centre this morning and many shops have reported major problems and are only able to take cash. This will have a big effect on trading.

“Everyone’s hoping they’ll be a resolution to this as quick as possible.”

BT have been contacted for more information.
