    Every contract includes that stipulation so what am I as an individual supposed to do?

      If it helps, there are ISPs that don’t do it.
      Zen is one of them. (And is a generally better company to do business with)

      Not use the service.

      Honestly, labour are doing the right thing. And when competition ain’t competing. The only thing they can.

      You may have noticed UK mobile companies joining over the years. T-Mobile and orange became EE. O2 and Vodafone trying to merge.

      I spoke to an Orange rep before the merge. He was commenting on how the company considered there to be too much competition in the UK mobile market. At the time, there were 5 providers. Legally, 3 or more is required for it not to be seen as a monopoly.

      The attitude gave me a clear idea odf how these companies see competition.
