FCC Enforces New 'Nutrition Label' Requirements for Broadband Services

Starting today, all major ISPs must provide clear, detailed billing information, enhancing transparency for consumers.

The FCC's new regulations mandate that ISPs with over 100,000 customers must display a 'nutrition label' for broadband services, detailing all costs and service speeds.
These labels aim to prevent hidden fees and provide consumers with straightforward information at the point of sale.
The initiative, inspired by food nutrition labels, includes important data such as monthly rates, data speeds, and additional charges.
Despite these changes, concerns remain about the sustainability of programs like the Affordable Connectivity Program due to lack of congressional funding.
The labels also list management practices like data throttling and prioritization, offering consumers insights into potential service limitations.
