Facts
Plaintiffs brought a class action suit against defendant AT&T Mobility LLC on behalf of consumers who purchased an unlimited data plan from defendant and whose mobile data usage was throttled.
Contentions
PLAINTIFF CONTENTIONS: Plaintiffs contended that defendant's purportedly unlimited data plans were falsely advertised because defendant would dramatically slow users' data speeds after reaching a data usage threshold. This slow down, also called throttling, rendered speeds so slow that ordinary internet use became impracticable.
DEFENDANT CONTENTIONS: Defendant denied any wrongdoing.
Injuries
Payment for services that were not as advertised.
Result
The parties agreed to settle the case. Defendant will pay a settlement fund of $12,000,000 to cover all costs of the settlement.
