"FCC Mandate Requires ISPs to Provide 'Nutrition Label' for Broadband Plans"
The FCC's new Broadband Facts mandate requires major ISPs in the U.S. to provide transparent information about internet service to prospective customers, similar to nutrition labels on food products. However, some ISPs are making it difficult to access these labels and omitting key details such as data cap overage charges and equipment rental fees. Grades for various ISPs' compliance with the mandate range from A- for AT&T Fiber to D for Verizon Fios, with CenturyLink being the only one to fully embrace the spirit of the rules.
