This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The supply of telephone, paid TV and internet services is a matter for individual providers and consumers, and not the Government and Parliament.

We have published several petitions calling on the Government to provide financial support to households that have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak, which you might like to sign. You can find all petitions relating to coronavirus here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions?state=open&topic=covid-19

The Government has also created an online service to help you out what you can do if you’re struggling because of coronavirus: www.gov.uk/find-coronavirus-support

You may also be interested to know that because of the large number of petitions that have been started in relation to coronavirus, the Petitions Committee has been questioning the Government about its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
