Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
You might want to start a new petition that calls on the UK Government to refer Internet Service Providers to the Competition and Markets Authority, if you believe that ISPs have been involved in anti-competitive behaviour.
Alternatively you could contact the Competition and Markets Authority about this issue yourself - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tell-the-cma-about-a-competition-or-market-problem
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
