A new lawsuit filed against Comcast details an extensive list of lies the cable company allegedly told customers in order to hide the full cost of service.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson sued Comcast in Hennepin County District Court on December 21, seeking refunds for all customers who were harmed by Comcast's alleged violations of the state's Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act and Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that Comcast reps falsely told customers that the company's 'Regional Sports Network (RSN)' and 'Broadcast TV' fees were mandated by the government and not controlled by Comcast itself.
