Subscribers to Orange broadband deals have been hit by issues when trying to access their email accounts.

The problem has been caused by an unidentified problem with the firm's email servers, but the broadband provider has stressed to consumers that only a small number of people have been affected.

An Orange spokesperson said: "We are taking this very seriously, and we have already begun the process to restore the service to those customers who have been affected."

Despite this, a call centre support worker has voiced their worries to Computer Weekly, saying that the problem is serious and engineers are now attempting to repair it, after it initially began hindering customers in July.

A report by JobSSW.co.uk has detailed that residents in Taunton may soon be able to use superfast broadband, after Somerset County Council was given a government grant.

The £31 million package will be divided between Somerset and Devon.
