AI Summary

New York’s attorney general determined that T‑Mobile was throttling speeds on broadband plans covered by the state’s Affordable Broadband Act, violating the law’s requirements for low‑income service. The Act mandates that eligible households receive at least 25 Mbps for $15 a month or 200 Mbps for $20 a month, with no extra taxes or equipment fees, and that providers make reasonable efforts to promote these options. T‑Mobile’s practices failed to meet those speed and promotional standards, prompting the regulator to force the carrier to cease imposing data caps on the subsidized plans.
