CRTC Seeks Input on Simplifying Internet Shopping

Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission

Ottawa-Gatineau-Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)

Today, the CRTC is launching a public consultation to help make shopping for home Internet plans easier.

Through this consultation, the CRTC is considering whether Internet service providers should be required to display information in a standardized label, similar to nutrition labels on food products. However, instead of serving sizes and calories, these labels would include information about price and speed to help Canadians easily compare plans.

The CRTC is accepting comments until February 20, 2025. Interested persons can participate by:

  • filling out the online form;
  • writing to the Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2; or
  • sending a fax to 819-994-0218.
