According to downdetector.com, which monitors problems with major sites and services, the issue began just before 12pm. More than 1,000 reports were made about problems with Spotify, compared to usual single digit report numbers over the last 24 hours.

Spotify tweeted that it is investigating some issues.

We’re investigating some issues and finding out more. Thanks for your reports – we’ll keep you updated here.

BT yesterday experienced a major outage across its broadband and phone network across the UK for more than two hours, for which it later apologised.
