A Settlement has been proposed in a class action involving the billing practices of CenturyLink. The case was filed against CenturyLink by several customers alleging CenturyLink engaged in unfair and deceptive billing practices. CenturyLink denies wrongdoing and liability and both sides disagree on how much, if anything, the Class could have recovered after trial. The court has not decided which side is right. But both sides have agreed to settle the case and provide certain benefits to CenturyLink customers in order to avoid the costs of continued litigation. https://www.newspressnow.com/news/national/current-and-former-centurylink-residential-and-small-business-customers-may/article_8245ba42-7d86-5c77-b78a-08ac0c0467c7.html -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200321160043.GA2253@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 16:00:43 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Colorado: You can't fight City Hall - or apparently, the PUC In the March 14 edition of the Sentinel, writer Charles Ashby reported on a plan to increase the 911 surcharge on all Coloradans. For me it was a head slapping, "I told them so" moment. You see, in 2017 CenturyLink first applied for a new tariff under the guise of it being "Next Generation 911." I read the tariff application end to end and there was nothing truly next-generation about it. https://www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/letters/printed-letters-march/article_71f13d7e-697c-11ea-9a20-7bcdf5d60c6d.html -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200321165236.GA2931@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 16:52:36 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: UT: Centurylink Internet Reported Out By Rickell-Jed Burnham Interenet is out in Stockton Utah and all over in Tooele county.
