It's written to the Cabinet Office minister but the DPA's Chief Operating Officer, Elizabeth Anderson, told Manx Radio a response is yet to be received:
Manx Radio requested an interview with Kate Lord-Brennan but was informed she won't be made available as 'government/Cabinet Office does not set or regulate internet prices'.
That's despite a government charter approved by the Cabinet Office which takes responsibility for 'making internet access, equipment and digital skills cheaper and more easily available.'
However, Minister Lord-Brennan has said she is drafting a response letter to the group.
The Communication Utilities Regulatory Authority is understood to be reviewing internet costs following a successful Motion brought to Tynwald by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.
