AT&T just got hit with a $100 million fine after slowing down its ‘unlimited’ data - The Washington Post
AT&T just got hit with a $100 million fine after slowing down its ‘unlimited’ data - The Washington Post
The Federal Communications Commission slapped AT&T with a $100 million fine Wednesday, accusing the country's second-largest cellular carrier of improperly slowing down Internet speeds for customers who had signed up for "unlimited" data plans. The FCC found that when customers used up a certain amount of data watching movies or browsing the Web, AT&T "throttled" their Internet speeds so that they were much slower than normal. Millions of AT&T customers were affected by the practice, according to the FCC. The fine, which AT&T says it will fight, is the largest ever levied by the agency.
