FCC Proposes to Rollback Some Broadband Transparency Rules

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2025 – The Federal Communications Commission is weighing changes to its broadband nutrition labels, proposing to eliminate six consumer disclosure requirements.

Directed by Congress, the FCC adopted the broadband label rules in 2022 to help consumers make informed decisions when choosing an internet plan. The standardized labels require providers to clearly disclose prices, speeds, data caps, and other key service terms.

The proposed rulemaking issued Tuesday asked whether the FCC should align label’s performance standards with the maximum advertised speeds providers report to the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection.
