News from 11/2019

"A class-action lawsuit was filed because internet providers are obligated to tell customers about any restrictions on promised speeds or data amounts. A settlement has finally been reached and AT&T has agreed to pay $60 million"

Do you get the credits? and How much?

Most likely the attorneys get $59.5 million and all the customers split $500,000 and get a credit of $1.59. I hate class action lawsuits.

Or increase rates and fees to pay the settlement. Every time I’ve dealt with those AT&T bastards they screwed things up or lied.

I’d rather use two cans and a string than their cell service. I’ve heard bad things about their internet and Direct TV.

Sadly, in my area, I have either ATT or Comcast to choose from. And both are tyrants.
