FCC to fine AT&T 100 Million for Capping Unlimited Data - CageTheBengal - 06-17-2015

Should've been done a long time ago. It's absolutely amazing the lack of transparency and the amount deception Internet providers get away with. Half the time I'm not even sure the consumer understands what they're supposed to be getting when they buy into an internet package whether it's broadband or through a cell phone carrier to understand how they're being deceived.
(Wasn't sure if this should be in PnR or not.)

whats even funnier is all the people who kept their service when it had to be pretty obvious that not only are they paying more than most everyone else but their speeds where slowing down.

You are correct. If anything, they should be forced to give that money back to the consumers that were duped from their services.

Consumers would never see that money anyway. The Gov would seize that... Unfortuantely the customers got duped
