FTC, States Sue Frontier Communications for Misrepresenting Internet Speeds

Frontier Communications is accused of misrepresenting internet speeds it advertised and charged for, according to a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and six state attorneys general. The lawsuit alleges Frontier Communications, which provides service to about 1.3 million consumers across 25 states, did not provide many consumers with the maximum speeds they were promised, and the speeds consumers did receive often fell short of what was touted in the plans they had purchased.
