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.Virgin Media is experiencing issues with some of its services, according to customer reports.
The outage comes just one day after major phone networks went down across the UK.
Hundreds of reports were tracked by the website DownDetector, which monitors the status of websites, apps and online services. The reason for the issues with Virgin Media are not immediately clear.
A spokesperson for Virgin Media told The Independent that there was no national broadband outage but that some voice services were affected.
"There are no widespread broadband issues on our network," the spokesperson said.
"We're aware of an intermittent issue affecting voice services for some of our mobile customers but this has no relation to our other services. WE're working to get this fixed as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience."
Virgin Media acknowledged customer complaints on social media.
“I can understand your frustration,” a representative for the company told one Twitter user. “We’re doing everything we can to minimise disruption as much as possible.”
