Residents can comment on proposed internet code

The CRTC is looking for input as it considers the creation of a mandatory code of conduct for Internet service providers.

That's in response to increasing complaints about internet services. The Internet Code would establish consumer-friendly business practices, ensure contracts are easy-to-understand and make it easier for Canadians to switch providers to take advantage of competitive offers.
