Consumers could benefit from a $60 million lawsuit settlement between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and AT&T resolving claims that the wireless provider engaged in data throttling — reducing the “unlimited” data speeds.
The settlement benefits former AT&T customers who had an unlimited data plan with the company at some point between Oct. 1, 2011, and June 30, 2015, who experienced data throttling and who have not received a bill credit or payment from AT&T regarding this matter.
According to the FTC, AT&T promised its customers “unlimited” data without qualification. In reality, the company allegedly throttled data speeds to the point that data was impossible to use.
AT&T is a mobile carrier that offers cellular and data services to customers.
In November 2019, AT&T agreed to resolve the FTC’s allegations with a $60 million lawsuit settlement.
In 2020, AT&T distributed some funds to current and former customers who were affected by this issue. However, because AT&T was unable to reach every eligible customer, the FTC has opened the remaining $7 million of the settlement to provide partial refunds to consumers who haven’t received a refund from AT&T.
Refunds from the AT&T data-throttling lawsuit settlement will vary depending on a number of factors. No payment estimates are available at this time.
There is no deadline for exclusion or objection for this FTC settlement.
The settlement was finalized on Nov. 5, 2019.
In order to receive a refund, consumers must submit a valid claim form by May 18, 2023.

Please add me You can not get any satisfaction when deal with this company.
Please add me
Yes, I am still an AT&T customer just because I don’t want to go through the BS of another company, but you speak awful confident are you SURE we received a credit on our bill?? And how do we find out?
I hear you I never received a credit on my bill now what do I do?
Please add me
I believe I signed up for this for my phone, but I paid for my kids phones as well, total of 3 phones. They had taken payments from me but wouldn’t credit them to my acct. they could look it up and see it but couldn’t tell me why it wasn’t credited, it was taken out of my bank acct.
I haven’t had my landline service for about 4 yrs. No one at at& t will help me. You can talk to no one. Charging me monthly for service I don’t have. T have. Had attempted murder/ robbery in 2018 & they ripped my phone lines apart.
At&t just keep putting me off but sending me bills. I am not paying. They will not release my home land line # so I can to to another provider. I’ve had same # for about 40 yrs. Can you help??
I don’t know if I got in on this earlier but I had two phones . I have been with AT&T for ever I just signed into a new trap on their new deal they will give me 5 Hundred dollars for my old phone and I would have to pay for the rest of it come to find out they are giving me 17 dollars a month discount until they give me 5 Hundred dollars in credit. I then asked if I could pay off what I owe but was told I had to pay for the total amount of the phone ,and the person selling me the phone said I could pay it off after one month because before that , why because after a month you can’t get out of the contract 🤬 and they are slowing down your speed I don’t believe this has slowed them down with their bad business practice! HELP!!!
Please add me – had AT&T for 20+ years
