These policies would ensure that the network providers provide quality broadband connection to public. The policy would further state that consumers should be allowed to have full use of their broadband connections. This would give them access to any content on the internet, they will be able to run any application they desire, and they would be allowed to attach any devices to their broadband connection that does not cause any harm to the network. The quality of broadband connection also incorporates the Internet Traffic Management Practices (ITMPs). The policy would ensure that before the ITMPs are used, the consumers will be informed by the network providers about their use. This will help the consumers to make better decisions in purchasing
