Tools by type
Every template and checklist Kibbo has built for telecom and utility problems, grouped by what it actually does. This block has no generators yet — the checklists and directory below cover the escalation step instead.
Paid, downloadable — evidence packs for a billing dispute, a service problem, or a cancellation, plus comparison workbooks for choosing a plan or a tariff.

Telecom Regulators Directory 4 resources
The bodies that set the rules for telecom markets — not necessarily who resolves your individual complaint (that's the Ombudsman Directory below).
See all Telecom Regulators →Utility Regulators Directory 5 resources
Energy and water regulators — distinct bodies overseeing distinct markets from the telecom regulators above.
See all Utility Regulators →Ombudsman Directory 5 resources
Complementary to the regulators above: a regulator oversees the market, an ombudsman scheme resolves your individual dispute.
See all Ombudsman schemes →Consumer Complaint Portals 5 resources
Where to actually file a complaint — as distinct from the regulators (set the rules) and ombudsman schemes (resolve disputes once your provider's own process has failed).
See all Consumer Complaint Portals →Provider Cancellation Pages 7 resources
Direct links to major telecom providers' actual cancellation pages — not all self-service, but the correct page or number immediately rather than searching for it.
See all Provider Cancellation Pages →Guides, by region
29 in-depth guides — kept separate by jurisdiction, never merged, since telecom and utility regulation differs sharply by region.
Comcast, AT&T, or Verizon Ignoring You? How to File an FCC Complaint That Actually Gets a Response

How to Cancel Internet or TV Without Paying an Early Termination Fee
An early termination fee isn't automatically illegal because service is slow or you're moving. The contract, disclosures, and applicable law all matter.
Internet Outages in the US: When Can You Demand a Billing Credit?
Your internet was down for days, but the provider refuses a credit. There's no single federal rule requiring a prorated refund for every outage.
US Number Portability: How to Keep Your Phone Number When Switching Carriers
You can owe your old carrier money and still have important number-portability protections — but porting doesn't erase a valid balance or contract fee.
Broadband or Mobile Complaint Going Nowhere? Here's How Ofcom's Complaint System Actually Works
