Law Would Force Internet Providers to Be Honest About Speeds
Internet Speed Honesty Law
This new law makes internet companies be honest with you. They have to tell you exactly how fast your internet will be. They also have to tell you how good the connection will be. This means no more promises of super-fast internet that you never actually get. This law affects everyone who pays for internet service. That includes people at home, small businesses, and even big companies. If you buy internet, this law is for you. This law matters because it protects you from false advertising. Internet companies can't trick you into buying a service that doesn't work as promised. You'll have better information to choose the best internet plan for your needs. You'll also be able to hold internet companies accountable if they don't deliver what they promised.
Where this proposed law falls on the policy spectrums that Canadians care about
The bill increases regulation on internet companies by requiring them to be transparent about their service quality. This shifts the balance slightly towards worker/consumer protection by ensuring businesses cannot mislead customers.
This bill has not yet been published on the government website.
