RCN Telecom Services has designated $11.5 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims the company engaged in charging misleading fees that were not disclosed during the sign-up process.
The settlement class is defined as all current and former RCN Telecom customers in the United States who were charged and paid a ‘Network Access and Maintenance Fee’ between Nov. 1, 2017, and Sept. 13, 2022.
The lawsuit claims consumers were not told of the fee until their first bill arrived. Even then, the fee was included in the “taxes, surcharges, and fees” portion of the bill. According to the lawsuit, RCN directs consumers to its website regarding the fee, where it “lies” to the customers and tells “them it is a tax or government-related fee over which RCN has no control.”
