Bell Hit With Quebec Class Action Over Throttling Practices

By Michael Geist

ADVERTISEMENTS

L'Union des Consommateurs and a Quebec consumer have launched a class action lawsuit against Bell Canada over its throttling practices. The suit, which is seeking certification on behalf of all provincial subscribers, argues that the practices deliberately slowed consumer services and raises privacy issues. It seeks a refund of 80 percent of the monthly subscription price, in line with the reduction in advertised speeds. It further seeks $600 per subscriber to compensate for false advertising and $1500 for privacy rights violations.
