The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission says while it doesn't think price signalling is happening, it is concerned about mid-contract changes.

Meanwhile, Labour Finance Spokesperson, Ged Nash, said adopting the UK government's action to ban automatic increases on telecom bills could help consumers here.
