AT&T will pay $60M to resolve US allegations it misled millions of smartphone customers by charging them for 'unlimited' data plans but reducing data speeds if they used too much, the FTC said on Wednesday.
AT&T issued a brief statement acknowledging that it had reached a settlement with the FTC.
The company had fought the FTC in court, saying it had no jurisdiction to bring the case, but lost in 2018. Andrew Smith, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said AT&T made promises it did not keep."While it seems obvious, it bears repeating that Internet providers must tell people about any restrictions on the speed or amount of data promised," he said in a statement.
