Southwest Arkansas Telephone Cooperative is excited to announce the release of our new Broadband Labels.
Nutrition labels are typically found on your favorite snacks and treats. Now a similar label will be a new added ingredient for internet service providers.
To break down your internet consumption, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has ordered broadband internet providers to create digestible labels for their customers to understand online and in-stores.
"Beginning April 10, customers began to see broadband labels like nutrition labels that are mostly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)", the FCC announced.
"The labels are modeled after the FDA nutrition labels and are intended to help consumers comparison shop for the internet service plan that will best meet their needs and budget," the FCC said in the press release.
Internet providers had until Oct. 10, 2024 to comply with the FCC rules to display these broadband labels to their customers.
You can find more information on our residential internet plans, pricing, and view our broadband labels here.
We are committed to providing local – reliable – superfast – 100% buried fiber optic internet at a reasonable price.
