Call for crackdown as TV, phone, and broadband prices set to soar again

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission wants 'changes to the law or regulation' to protect consumers as prices are set to rise again in April. 

The Government needs to crack down on companies that are hiking bills for essential services mid-contract, the consumer watchdog has said.

The call from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) comes as household budgets are to be stretched even further next month with Eir, Sky, Three, and Vodafone all hiking TV, mobile, and broadband prices.
