Reject the proposed BBC Internet Fee on broadband bills

Reject the proposed BBC Internet Fee on broadband bills — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Reject any proposal to replace the TV Licence Fee with an Internet Fee that would add charges to broadband bills. Protect UK households from this unfair financial burden, particularly those who do not watch BBC television or use its services.

Additional details

The BBC plans to scrap the TV Licence Fee and introduce an Internet Fee, adding £11 to every broadband bill. This is plainly unfair to UK residents and would deepen financial pressure on households already struggling with everyday costs. As a nation we should not accept this change. People who never watch television whether they game, work remotely or use broadband purely for business should not be forced to fund the BBC. The proposal is unjust and should be rejected.
