Minnesota Attorney General's suit catalogs the many lies of Comcast

Late last year, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson sued Comcast for lying and lying and lying and lying and lying to the people of Minnesota, all the time, because Comcast is a garbage company, universally loathed by every person who has ever come into contact with them, with the sole exception of FCC Chairman, noted coward, and former telcoms exec Ajit "Fucking" Pai.

In an article that delves into eye-watering detail, Ars Technica's Jon Brodkin delivers a selection of lowlights from the AG's brief in the suit, describing these filthy, shameless lies that reps from America's most hated company told to the good people of Minnesota.

Swanson says that Comcast told Minnesotans lies long after it had settled a class action suit over its filthy, shameless lies in 2016.

In its defense, Comcast threw its low-level phone staffers (who have a well-deserved rep as the most vicious and unpleasant phone staffers in the world, thanks to the company's policy of firing employees who don't deceive and abuse their customers) under the bus.

In 2016, Comcast/Xfinity promised a consumer on his Service Order that it would charge him $109, plus tax, for two years. Despite his Service Order stating: "HD/DVR $0" and "Addl. Monthly Fees $ ---" Comcast/Xfinity increased his bill by $19.95 per month by adding an equipment (DVR) fee as well as Broadcast TV, Regional Sports, and HD Technology fees.

Similarly, in August 2016, Comcast/Xfinity promised a consumer that it would charge him the same price for two years and wrote that he would pay $139.99 per month on his Service Order.
