BT internet went down this afternoon and suddenly Ring doorbells, Alexa smart speakers and PlayStation Network (PSN) stopped working.

The outage only seemed to affect devices, not internet connections, and the issues have now been resolved.

A BT spokesperson said: “Earlier today some BT broadband customers were unable to connect to some third party applications. This was fixed quickly and customers can access these applications again. We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused."

According to Downdetector.com, which offers real-time status and outage information, there were over 1,000 reports of BT outages over the last 24 hours. Customers reported the outages on Twitter.

One user said: "Ring Doorbell completely down over here in the UK.

"Internet provider is BT and no other issues with anything else, but ring is not working.
