Limits on Tennessee customers' final service bills
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee limits cancellation billing for phone, cable television, internet, and broadband services. The limits cover for-profit, nonprofit, and government providers charging for these services. They apply when you cancel according to your contract's terms. Cancel during the first half of your billing cycle, and providers can bill only for the rest of that cycle. Cancel during the second half, and providers can bill for the rest of that cycle plus up to one more cycle. Contracts can still require a minimum service period. Violations are unfair or deceptive practices subject to penalties and remedies under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act.
