A technical fault that left tens of thousands of homes without internet broadband has been fixed, BT has said.
The company said the problems affected a "significant part of the UK", including Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England, on Friday night.
Engineers worked through the night to correct the fault at an exchange in the Edinburgh area, BT said in a statement.
A spokesman said the situation was being monitored and phone services had not been not affected.
"Following a technical fault at an exchange in the Edinburgh area last night which caused disruption to some broadband services, BT confirms that all services have been restored to customers," he said.
"BT's engineering teams worked throughout the night to resolve outstanding customer issues and to monitor the performance of the network."

I was affected, pretty annoying as I had a lot of work to do online last night.
When I found out it wasn't just my house, I pictured that episode of South Park :v:
Ah,
God, last night was boring.
Glad I wasnt affected
haha a few years ago we had something similar in Australia. The outbound connections to the rest of the world were cut (due to some DNS fault at one of the main data exchanges), and all we could view was Australian websites. Was soooo weird.
Typical bloody southerners they probably didn't even know we had internet until yesterday when I was your age we lived in a fireplace and the only net we had was the one the foreman would catch us in and then beat us for not working and we were happy for it!
Pissed me off majorly. Gave me some time to play AC2 though.
My friend was affected by this, did they not try turning it off and on again? :v:
