Overcharged Pay-As-You-Go Data Users To Be Refunded by AT&T

Jamie Condliffe, November 7, 2012

"The FCC has announced that AT&T has agreed to refund customers who were unfairly pushed from their original pay-as-you-go wireless plans into monthly data contracts.

AT&T began mandating monthly data plans back in 2009, but promised customers already buying wireless data through them on a pay-as-you-go basis that they would be "grandfathered" into the new scheme, ensuring their data rates were kept low. The FCC, however, has spent a year investigating complaints which suggested numerous customers didn't receive such treatment, and instead started paying higher monthly rates.?"
