FCC To Fine AT&T $100M For Throttling Unlimited Data Customers

[DEAD7]

According to the article in the New York Times, AT&T is getting fined $100,000,000 for its doublespeak redefinition of the word "Unlimited". The FCC says AT&T failed to adequately notify its customers that they could receive speeds slower than the normal network speeds AT&T advertised and that these actions violated the FCC's 2010 Open Internet Order. “Unlimited means unlimited,” Travis LeBlanc, the F.C.C.’s chief of the enforcement bureau, said in a statement on Wednesday. “As today’s action demonstrates, the commission is committed to holding accountable those broadband providers who fail to be fully transparent about data limits.”

I just got a notification about them throttling my net speed this month, so this is where this comes from?

maybe their service has improved, but back in 2013 i was standing in AT&T's parking lot and couldnt even access my data connection. if i drove ten minutes away it would work.
