Several global websites down amid widespread Internet outage
A number of leading websites are currently not working, including Amazon, Reddit and Twitch.
 
The UK government website - gov.uk - is also down as is parts of the BBC and a host of other media outlets.
 
Affected websites displayed the message: "Error 503 Service Unavailable".
 
Early reports suggested it could be related to Fastly, a cloud computing provider, which underpins a lot of major websites.
 
Fastly said it was investigating problems with its content delivery network.
