Regulation 90 Provider switching and number portability

(1) In the case of switching by an end-user between providers of internet access services -

(a) the providers concerned shall provide the end-user with adequate information before and during the switching process and ensure continuity of the internet access service, unless technically not feasible,

(b) the receiving provider shall ensure that the activation of the internet access service occurs within the shortest possible time on the date and within the timeframe expressly agreed with the end-user, and

(c) the transferring provider shall continue to provide its internet access service on the same terms until the receiving provider activates its internet access service.

Loss of service during the switching process shall not exceed one working day.

A provider who fails to comply with this paragraph commits an offence.

(2) The Regulator shall ensure the efficiency and simplicity of the switching process for the end-user and may specify requirements to be complied with by providers in this regard.
