Easier Broadband/Landline Switching From 20/6/15

Changes coming into force tomorrow will make it easier for millions of consumers to change to a new broadband or landline deal.

From Saturday 20 June, the process of switching between providers who use the Openreach telecoms network - such as BT, EE, Sky and TalkTalk - will become simpler and smoother.

A new ‘one touch’ process will place the responsibility for the broadband or landline switch entirely in the hands of the company to which the customer is moving.

Recipient-led migrations are an open invitation for pushy sales people. I guess that cases of slamming will go through the roof.

For those with poor speeds, unless there is an actual fault, changing provider won't improve the speed as the signal will be coming down the same cables.
