Unlimited internet data in all UK households so ALLchildren can access resources

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to ensure that students as well as people required to work from home using internet have unlimited access to resources online without worrying about additional charges by their data providers.
This is important to encourage students from disadvantaged backgrounds to a: use the online resources and make progress in their education.
B: ensure that these students are not held back by data caps or additional charges that might be incurred by their internet providers.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

This would be a matter for broadband providers, but since you started this petition the major providers have announced a temporary end to data caps.
