Background

Require all broadband providers to offer 12-month contract options for renters. Many tenants move yearly but may face unfair 18–24-month broadband terms, paying exit fees or losing service. Align broadband contracts with common tenancy lengths could ensure fairness, flexibility and consumer choice.

Additional details

Aligning broadband contracts with typical 12-month tenancies could protect renters from unfair lock-ins and exit fees. It could promote consumer fairness, competition, and digital access, ensuring people can move homes without losing essential services or facing financial penalties.
