    Ofcom is introducing new broadband switching rules from tomorrow that it claims will make it easier for millions of customers to change provider.

    Customers switching between providers who use Openreach telecoms network, such as BT, EE, Sky and TalkTalk, will be able to use a ‘one touch’ process that will place responsibility for the broadband or landline switch entirely in the hands of the company to which the customer is moving.
