FCC to Fine AT&T $100 Million Over Unlimited Data Plan Throttling

The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it plans to fine AT&T $100 million for misleading its customers about unlimited mobile data plans.

The FCCs investigation alleges that AT&T severely slowed down the data speeds for customers with unlimited data plans and that the company failed to adequately notify its customers that they could receive speeds slower than the normal network speeds AT&T advertised.

AT&T began offering unlimited data plans in 2007, allowing customers to use unrestricted amounts of data. Although the company no longer offers unlimited plans to new customers, it allows current unlimited customers to renew their plans and has sold millions of existing unlimited customers new term contracts for data plans that continue to be labeled as unlimited.
