Regulate Fair Internet Costs and Speed Equality for Households Across the UK
We urge the Government to ensure regulate internet provision by:
1. Capping network fees in homes with fibre to £10-£15/month.
2. Requiring transparent pricing for installation and monthly fees.
3. Setting a minimum speed of 300 Mbps.
4. Supporting low-income households with social tariffs.
We think this would be fair
We think internet access is essential, but some pay high fees exceeding £50/month. We think actual costs for Internet Service providers are far lower, especially with pre-installed fibre. We think lower pricing, capped at £10-£15/month, would cover costs and reduce digital inequality. We think affordable internet benefits families, businesses, and keeps the UK competitive.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
