MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Department of Ag, Trade and Consumer Protection reaches a settlement with an internet provider over pricing claims.
CenturyLink will pay the state $450,000 to settle allegations it misrepresented monthly prices.
DATCP alleges that between April 2015 and December 2017, CenturyLink advertised a promotion to “lock in” a fixed monthly subscription cost for internet services but then charged additional monthly broadband cost recovery fees. Those fees allegedly increased from $1.99 in April 2015 to $3.99 in October 2016.
CenturyLink did not admit fault in the settlement.
