UPC Ireland said today it has suffered a network fault that has affected internet services for a small number of its Dublin customers.

In a statement the television, phone and broadband supplier said some customers living in Dublin 4, 6, 8, and 10 were experiencing difficulties.

The company said its technicians were working to fix the fault and that services are currently being restored.

It said less than 2 per cent of UPC customers in the areas mentioned were affected.

“UPC apologises to any customers affected by this temporary interruption to service.”
