AT&T Data Throttling Refunds
Court case: Federal Trade Commission v. AT&T Mobility LLC
AT&T sold unlimited data plans and then quietly throttled customers' speeds — and got caught by the FTC. If you were on an AT&T unlimited plan between October 2011 and June 2015 and got throttled, there's a $7 million fund for affected customers.
Official eligibility wordingFormer AT&T customers with an unlimited data plan between October 1, 2011 and June 30, 2015 who experienced data throttling and have not received a bill credit or payment from AT&T related to this matter.

How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The only legitimate contacts for this settlement are 1-877-654-1982, info@ATTDataThrottling.com, and ftc.gov — do not trust any third-party site offering to file or reopen a claim.
- The original settlement was $60 million (2019); this second distribution came from the $7 million remaining fund. Both rounds are now fully distributed.
- Scammers frequently target people who missed closed FTC settlements — never pay anyone to help you collect from a closed case.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
