ckf Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Minnesota's attorney general is suing Comcast/Xfinity, alleging the company has overcharged thousands of consumers for cable TV packages, charged them for unordered equipment and services, and failed to deliver on promised Visa gift cards. Attorney General Lori Swanson says the lawsuit follows more than two years of investigation. The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis on Friday, alleges consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices. It seeks a court order to stop Comcast's allegedly deceptive business practices, and for unspecified amounts of restitution, civil penalties and legal fees. Swanson says a trial is underway in a similar lawsuit in Washington state, and that Comcast recently agreed to settle a similar case in Massachusetts. https://www.wcax.com/content/news/503337651.html?fbclid=IwAR2JULiNUJ38D2EihqFXCcsZDYvfWl_T60PTTRlSXVShE6DD-YcG5hPSbQg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern in Auto Racing and the NFL Here's the thing with these fucks...I did that, went Roku but, the only service for cable internet is Charter. So, when I called to cancel my "tv" package and just keep internet, they told me my internet was going to go up and gigs going to get dropped because I no longer have their tv package. So, reality...I'm still getting bent over by cable but enjoy the streaming apps of Roku anyway. Phone and Cable. Got you fucked anyway you want to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. But not as good as it used to be. It loses service more than it used to. Problem is, any phone service is just a joke compared to cable internet. We tried them a few years ago and just painfully slow with a teenage daughter using up all the god damn bandwidth! I wish she'd move out...and quit eating all my fucking Toll house!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I’ve got Netflix and amazon prime. No need for anything else. My internet bill has increased 25% in one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
