Cheap broadband consultation extended

Tuesday, 4 November 2025 08:42

The Island's telecoms regulator says there's more time to have your say on plans for a cheap essential broadband product.

The Communications and Utilities Regulatory authority says a consultation about the proposals was due to end on Thursday, November 27.

CURA is looking into asking providers to have a low-cost, basic service broadband for those who can't afford dearer online services.

The organisation says it's extended the consultation period, which will now end at 5pm on Thursday, December 11.
