This will mean that for small businesses, their right to exit will apply to their broadband and bundled services in the same way as their right to exit will apply to their contract and bundled services as set out in the revised GCs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retaining, within the Business Code, the existing definition of a bundle for larger businesses.<\/strong><br \/>\nFor larger businesses, we have decided to retain the existing Business Code\u2019s definition of a bundle to ensure the existing protections continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timescales for implementing these decisions.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have decided that any necessary changes to comply with the amendments to the Codes should be implemented by existing signatories within three months of the date of this statement i.e. by 21 December 2022.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> states that services or equipment will not automatically be captured by the definition of a bundle, as it depends on the nature of any links between them. The regulator said they &#8220;<em>are of the view that there is unlikely to be a large increase in products captured within the revised<\/em>&#8221; definition.<\/p>\n<p>In short, this is more about making the rules around bundles &#8220;<em>easier for customers to follow and more straightforward for broadband providers to implement<\/em>&#8220;, although the revised definition isn&#8217;t exactly the easiest piece of text for a regular person to understand (e.g. most people will need to Google in order to figure out what &#8220;<em>information society services<\/em>&#8221; actually are). The old definition was at least easier to read and understand at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator does not expect ISPs to &#8220;<em>incur significant implementation costs<\/em>&#8221; from this change. Providers now have 3-months to implement it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ofcom has confirmed that they will update their 2019 voluntary Code of Practice for Broadband ISP Speeds, which among other things will extend the current &#8220;Right to Exit&#8221; (i.e. when an ISP fails to correct a speed problem) so that it applies to more aspects of a service bundle.
