Saying customers have been ripped off, New York’s Attorney General has announced a lawsuit against Time Warner Cable and new owners Charter Communications, saying they have not provided the Internet speeds that were promised to customers. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed the suit yesterday, saying that Charter and Time Warner have defrauded state residents since 2012 with Internet and WiFi speeds far below what was promised. His suit seeks restitution for 5 million subscribers and to force the company to make upgrades. Charter acquired Time Warner in 2015 and has rebranded the utility as Spectrum. They responded in a statement saying they have made substantial investments to improve equipment since taking over the company and are disappointed in the allegations.
