Verizon Wireless has agreed to settle a probe into the marketing of its Internet usage plans and reimburse $1 million to customers for wrongful account termination. The company agreed to pay $150,000 in penalties and costs to New York state and revise marketing of its wireless Internet access plans, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office said in a statement. The state probe found that Verizon Wireless had marketed its NationalAccess and BroadbandAccess plans as "unlimited," without disclosing that actions such as downloading movies or playing games online were prohibited. The company also cut off heavy Internet users for exceeding an undisclosed cap of usage per month.
