The Internet Code


The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has established a
mandatory code of conduct (Internet Code) for Internet service providers (ISPs) effective as of January 31, 2020. The Internet Code is designed to make it easier for Canadians to understand their Internet service contracts, to prevent bill shock, and to make it easier for Canadians to switch ISPs.  It ensures customers benefit from increased clarity in their interactions with ISPs; from clearer prices, including for bundles, promotions, and time-limited discounts; and from increased clarity around data usage, service calls, outages, and disconnections.
