suinginternet provider Frontier Communications for misrepresenting internet speeds.
On Wednesday, Attorney General Josh Kaul and Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary-designee Randy Romanski, along with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and five other states and counties, sued Frontier.
The suit is alleging the company did not provide customers with the Internet service at the speeds it promised them. They say Frontier charged many of them for more expensive and higher-speed service than Frontier actually provided.
“Wisconsinites should receive the Internet service speed they’re paying for,” said Attorney General Kaul. “When companies fail to live up to their promises, the consumer protection teams at DATCP and DOJ are available to stand up for consumers.”

FTC targets another CBD marketer for unsubstantiated disease claims A marketer of CBD products has agreed in a Federal Trade Commission administrative proceeding to cease making unsubstantiated disease treatment claims and pay more than $30,000 in consumer redress.
The case brought against Arizona-based Kushly Industries LLC (Kushly) and the company’s sole officer Cody Alt is the seventh such enforcement brought by FTC against a CBD/hemp firm, according to Daniel Kaufman acting director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
“There may be some benefits of CBD, but there’s no proof that it can treat the serious health conditions in Kushly’s advertising, such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, or cancer,” Kaufman said.
