Spectrum Lawsuit By State of New York
 
CNY Central reported that Spectrum had a major payout because it failed to deliver faster internet speeds. Customers who lived in New York are starting to receive or will soon end up receiving $6.5 million in what we call bill credits and as a part of the lawsuit settlement Spectrum has to provide free services.
 
Charter Spectrum actually had no choice but to settle that lawsuit that took place in December which of course alleged that the company lied about how fast their internet speeds were that or they just withheld the fast internet from their customers. Either way, they didn’t provide their customers with the internet that they were paying for.
 
Spectrum eventually agreed to refund their customers and they are offering free streaming services to each affected customer. Any customer that is eligible to receive the free streaming services and the refund was said they would be notified in March.
 
Lara Pritchard, a spokesperson for Spectrum said the following, “We are issuing credits to certain eligible customers in New Your state, in accordance with our agreement with the New York Attorney General regarding the former Time Warner Cable.”
