A national class action has been filed against Comcast for allegedly blocking users attempts to share files. The suit, which claims that the telecommunications giant falsely advertised its Internet service provisions, was filed in federal court in Portland, OR.
The suit calls for payment to the class based on the damage caused by Comcast's alleged misrepresentation of its services and its allegedly making an unjust profit from its Internet service. The suit also asks for an injunction to stop the company from engaging in false advertising. Foster says it's too soon to estimate the amount of the damages, but because the case is filed in federal court, the alleged damages must exceed $5 million.
