Starting today, ISPs must display labels with price, speeds, and data caps
Starting today, ISPs must display labels with price, speeds, and data caps
ISPs comply with FCC rule after protesting requirement to list all fees.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is some bullshit if this is in compliance. I had to enter my address for the quote, still doesn't show what the fucking taxes are, or real price.
Edit: Not in compliance "The labels must include any additional monthly charges, one-time fees, early termination fees, and taxes." filed fcc complaint. Fuck Comcast.
“Comcast and other ISPs complained that listing every monthly fee would be too difficult”
This is very hard to reach compliance, but you’re not smart enough to understand why.
sometimes asking a computer to add and multiply numbers is just too hard
They can sure figure it out to bill me. But monitoring my data usage was too hard, so I switched providers. Lucky me, I have exactly one other to choose from, but at least they don't have caps.
I'm guessing they have until the end of the day to be in compliance and they will wait until the very last second.

Well then never mind that, I guess they're just breaking the law.
Do you really think a gigantic corporation like them would do that‽ just go about and ignore the law in the name of profit?
If their only punishment is a meager fine, then yes it happens all the time. At that point it's simply the cost of doing business.
Ooo they’re gonna have to pay a fine of $12 if they’re not careful.
What? The Corportations that stole billions of dollars given to them to get fiber across the country aren't good people?
I was stuck on Xfinity for years, followed the progress of the local up and coming fiber ISPs construction efforts like a hawk and my house finally went live on Monday!
I switched everything over and nearly ripped out the stupid Xfinity modem/router and it was returned same day. I made sure I was loud (plenty of people in store) when they asked me why I was cancelling that I was "SWITCHING TO [local fiber ISP] BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS SO MUCH BETTER"
