Australia’s top internet service providers sued by regulator, speed claims
- Monday | 9th August, 2021
(Reuters) – Australia’s consumer regulator filed separate lawsuits against the country’s top three internet service providers for allegedly making incorrect claims about speeds that the companies say are partly the fault of the government-backed broadband provider. In Australia, the state-owned National Broadband Network (NBN) acts as the wholesale provider of broadband which the internet service providers then offer to their customers. TPG said the issue was due to the “failure by NBN Co to provide timely and accurate speed information to TPG Internet,” and its own legacy processes from 2017 that have been fixed. “Collectively, hundreds of thousands of consumers were allegedly misled by these three big internet providers,” ACCC chair Rod Sims said.
