Broadband Labels- Explained
In November 2022, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed an order to make price shopping easier for consumers.
Broadband Labels were designed to provide clear, easy-to-understand, and accurate information about the cost and performance of high-speed internet services. The labels are modeled after FDA nutrition labels and are intended to help consumers comparison shop for the internet service plan that will best meet their needs and budget.
The labels must disclose important information about broadband prices, introductory rates, data allowances, and broadband speeds. They also include links to information about network management practices and privacy policies.
While many providers began displaying their labels in April 2024, providers (like TrioTel) with fewer than 100,000 subscribers had until October 10, 2024, to comply with the FCC rules to display broadband labels at their points of sale. You can view TrioTel’s Broadband Labels that have been implemented by visiting www.triotel.net.
