Competition Bureau seeking input from consumers to help guide its Broadband Market Study
OTTAWA, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, the Competition Bureau launched a consultation to learn about consumer habits in purchasing internet services. As part of its latest market study, the Bureau wants to better understand consumer habits and experiences with Canadian internet providers. To do that, the Bureau needs your help!
Fill out a short 2-minute online survey and be part of the conversation! Your feedback will help guide the Bureau's work and ensure it is tackling the issues that matter most to Canadians.
Ultimately, the Bureau aims to find out if internet regulations could be smarter and more effective.
