The Federal Trade Commission has filed a complaint against Frontier Communications.

The FTC claims the company did not provide customers with promised speeds or charged them for services they could not deliver.

Wisconsin Democrat Ron Kind says that this has been a problem for a while and it is not limited to one company. He says that providers will come into communities with big promises on which they cannot deliver, and it shows the need for a comprehensive broadband plan in rural America.
