"What happens when new standard terms override an old decision about your service"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If a decision is made under section 27 for a service, and that decision is still in force when a standard terms decision is made for the service, you need to know what happens next. You can ask the service provider to give you the service using the terms in the standard terms decision. The service provider must do what you ask.

When the service provider starts giving you the service using the new terms, the old decision made under section 27 will no longer apply. The service provider has to follow your request to use the new terms.

You make this request in writing to the service provider, and they must comply with your request to supply the service on the terms specified in the standard terms determination, as per the decision made under section 27.
