Consultation: Trialling consumer remedies

Helping customers to get a fair deal for their communications services is a priority for Ofcom, and we have an ongoing programme dedicated to achieving this. Our work involves a range of regulatory measures and interventions. To help us assess the likely effectiveness of potential new measures, we are proposing a new rule which would enable us to require providers to participate in trials of customer engagement remedies. This rule, alongside our research and other evidence-gathering work, would be an additional tool to help customers get the best deals.
