Media regulator Ofcom has urged all broadband firms to support low-income homes by offering discounted packages known as "social tariffs".
A £15 social tariff package would almost halve this broadband cost and use up 4.6% of disposable income, it added. "I've never heard of any of this and usually I'm really clued up with financial information," she told the BBC. Tania Caporaso, director of BT customer care, said that customers should get in touch with the company to check if they are eligible.
Due to rising energy bills, Ms Parker said she had ruled it out, but she says would be able to afford a £10-a-month social tariff. Lindsey Fussell, communications director at Ofcom, told the BBC that too many broadband firms are "failing" in their "moral imperative" to either promote or offer social tariffs.
This is just comical. Ofcom are there to oversee broadband prices but they are happy for everyone's bills to increase by over 10% in April 2022. What about bringing down bills for everyone and removing the money making telephone line we don't want.
