Experience
Represented AT&T in an NAD action in which AT&T challenged advertising by Comcast for its Xfinity Mobile 5G service, arguing the Xfinity commercial was false and misleading because (i) Comcast falsely claimed that all of its subscribers can get 5G service, and (ii) Xfinity’s 5G service is widely available, when neither of those claims were true. We successfully obtained an NAD decision holding that the Xfinity commercial misled viewers as to the actual geographic availability of its 5G service, and recommending that the claim be withdrawn, altered, or a clear and conspicuous disclaimer be included going forward. (NAD Finds Certain Xfinity 5G Disclosures Sufficient (bbbprograms.org))
Represented AT&T in an NAD action in which AT&T challenged advertising by Charter for its Spectrum Mobile service, arguing the advertisement was false and misleading because (i) Charter’s advertisement falsely claimed that AT&T intentionally conceals taxes and fees from consumers, and (ii) Charter’s advertisement falsely claims that Spectrum Mobile subscribers will pay only the price identified, without any additional costs or fees. The NAD recommended that the advertiser discontinue the challenged claim that AT&T intentionally conceals taxes and fees, and recommended that Charter’s second claim be qualified with a far more prominent disclaimer.

Represented AT&T in an NAD action in which Charter Communications argues that AT&T falsely claims to have a “faster internet experience” than cable with respect to having the bandwidth to handle large file uploads. Charter also argued that AT&T’s ads also claim that the telecommunications company delivers “consistent speed, even at peak times. However, NAD found AT&T’s claims were supported. (NAD Finds Certain AT&T “Faster Internet Experience” Claims Supported (bbbprograms.org))
Represented AT&T in an NAD action in which AT&T challenged advertising by Charter Communications that (i) falsely implied that AT&T imposes a hard data limit on its internet subscribers, (ii) falsely claimed that Spectrum Internet service offered “better performance” that its competitors with respect to gaming, (iii) falsely claimed that Spectrum Internet was more reliable, (iv) falsely claimed that AT&T charges customers for equipment that Spectrum Internet provides for free, (v) falsely claimed that Spectrum Internet provides the “fastest internet starting speeds for the price,” and (vi) Spectrum Internet has “over 99.9% network reliability”. The NAD recommended Charter Communications discontinue claims (i)-(iii) and modify claims (iv)-(vi) to disclose additional qualifying information.
