Increased Government Support For Internet Access (Virgin Media etc)

Virgin Media customers, and also TalkTalk and BT, have experienced awful levels of internet access in recent weeks.

The Government needs to do more to ensure our nation remains online.

Virgin Media's response is "we do not guarantee access".

Why the contribution is important

Internet access is vital for home working, entertainment, keeping families connected etc. We need to ensure private companies can't get away with whatever they want.

    In my line of work - local charity supporting communities - we have realised more than ever, how many people do not have access to internet and therefore digital services as well as online methods of keeping in touch.

    Action by Govt. to reduce digital exclusion now, would prevent many other challenges from happening as a result of it - mental health crisis, increased suicide, un/underemploment, bills not paid, etc....
