The regulator\u2019s existing migration rules are designed to protect against such abuse, but they\u2019re far from perfect and so cases do still occur.<\/p>\n<p>Under the current system, it tends to take around a week or more to migrate between providers on the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> based network, which allows time for both providers to issue notices to customers and also affords customers the ability to request that the switch be stopped. But that&#8217;s much harder to achieve via a one-day process and, under OTS, a customer can no longer request that the switch be stopped.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> claims that the new OTS approach is designed to &#8220;<em>safeguard against slamming<\/em>&#8220;. Such safeguards include the requirement for the gaining ISP to take all reasonable steps to ensure that it does not switch customers without their consent, and in particular, that it does not engage in slamming, and that any customer who is requesting a switch is authorised to do so.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, in OTS, the losing provider will be required to inform the customer of the identity of the gaining provider, which the regulator claims &#8220;<em>should act as an additional safeguard against slamming<\/em>.&#8221; But plenty of ISPs we speak with remain concerned that OTS could make the practice harder to tackle.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>A Different Approach<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to the boss of Andrews &amp; Arnold, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revk.uk\/2024\/06\/one-touch-switching.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adrian Kennard<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s new OTS solution &#8220;<em>seems to also stop most &#8216;anti-slamming&#8217; measures &#8211; not allowing a losing ISP to cancel a migration now!<\/em>&#8221; This is arguably a bigger issue for AAISP as, under the old system, the provider could offer customers an option to pre-request that a block against switching be placed on their account to help protect against the risk of unauthorised switches.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Adrian believes they&#8217;ve found another way of achieving this, which is based on the fact that the new system must match your surname between the losing and gaining providers. The approach is best explained by a new notice on the provider&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Switching Notice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a long time we have operated an anti-slamming option where you tell us in advance that you do not wish your broadband to be migrated to a new provider. You could then change that at any time.<\/p>\n<p>However, the new One Touch Switching system works differently. We will no longer be able to reject switching. However, to start switching the new provider needs an address and surname to match. They can start a switch process in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> without, but this is less likely as the normal process for consumers, and probably most businesses, will be One Touch Switching.<\/p>\n<p>Because the surname has to match, we now allow you to edit the contact name on each line you have with us. Your name is what you want it to be, so picking any name for any circumstance is your right, and we have to respect that and allow you to change your name under GDPR, even if only on that very specific part of our system &#8211; the contact name for a broadband service.<\/p>\n<p>If you change your surname, even if it is to PSJKHGJGEXC, then that is your choice. And any One Touch Switching match request would fail unless using the surname PSJKHGJGEXC.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this is meant to be for your surname not really as a pseudo password, but, well, it is up to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally, customers of AAISP who do this would probably need to adjust that field back to the correct surname if they did intend to switch, but this does seem like an interesting solution to the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadband ISP Andrews &amp;
