Is that a one off payment, or per month, or per day? On the grounds that 2GB is only a quarter hour at 20Mb, unless the compensation is per day, I think the class actioners have every right to feel agrieved.
Angry AT&T customers have asked a judge to force America's trade watchdog, the FTC, to hand over the information it used to reach a $60m settlement with the cellular network for throttling “unlimited data” plans.
