Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

OFTEL, the telecoms watchdog, yesterday published the results of a survey into the efficiency of mobile phone networks in an attempt to force mobile phone operators to agree common performance standards.

The survey showed that Orange was the most reliable network with a call success rate of 95 per cent, while Vodafone and Cellnet registered just above 90 per cent and One-2-One just below 90 per cent. Cellnet challenged the results of the survey, arguing that data should have been collected over a longer period.
