Consumers should know exactly what they’ll be paying when signing up for cable or internet service. Yet the telecom industry is notorious for slipping in ‘fee hikes’ that can balloon monthly bills – all while locking customers in long-term contracts.

Ask your Representative and Senators to support and move this common-sense bill. The telecom industry is lobbying hard against it, so consumers need to speak out now!
