The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and several states yesterday filed a lawsuit against Frontier Communications, accusing them of lying about internet speeds, in one of the first cases the regulator has overseen since net neutrality rules were repealed, Reuters reported. In the complaint, the agency and state attorneys general said that Frontier advertised internet via a digital subscriber line (DSL) at certain speeds to consumers but then failed to deliver. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The FTC was joined on the lawsuit by attorneys general from Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin. District attorneys’ offices from two California counties also joined the complaint to represent California.
