Niwtraliaeth y we

A report on our approach to monitoring and ensuring compliance with the Open Internet Regulation from May 2020 to October 2021.

‘Net neutrality’, sometimes referred to as the ‘open internet’, is the principle that users of the internet (both consumers and those making and distributing content) should be in control of what they see and do online – not the broadband or mobile providers that connect people and businesses to the internet (otherwise known as internet service providers or ISPs).

This investigation was opened on 6 March 2018 following an assessment of evidence gathered under Ofcom’s enforcement programme into fixed and mobile Internet Service Provider traffic management measures, and other practices covered by the EU Open Internet Access Regulation.
