AT&T, a telecommunications company, is compensating its customers with $60 million in settlement for their misleading unlimited data plans. However, the Federal Trade Commission says that $7 million of the settlement is still not claimed.

According to Kenney, by 2019, the FTC has required the AT&T to pay a $60 million in settlement for the lawsuit filed against them. The AT&T has disputed the accusations against them but has decided to settle to end the tedious litigation process. Past customers who are still active to date were offered with a bill credit. On the other hand, inactive customers were offered with rebate checks. To date, $7 million in settlement still needs to be claimed.

Who is eligible for the settlement?
According to Blake, to be eligible for the settlement, one must be a past customer of AT&T. The customer must also have applied for the unlimited data plan between October 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015. Most importantly, the customer must have experienced a low data speed. Lastly, customers must have not been given any compensation by the AT&T yet.
Customers can submit a claim through the FTC online. They can also approach an administrator by calling 1-877-654-1982 or sending an email to info@ATTDataThrottling.com. However, the deadline to submit claims is only until May 18. Originally, customers have been given refunds of $10 to $23 depending on the state where they live in. For now, the exact amount that will be given is based on how many customers will submit a claim.
