Charter Communications ( CHTR - Free Report ) will be paying a record $174.2 million as part of a settlement deal with New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood for delivering lower- than-promised Internet speed to customers. Notably, Charter is the first Internet service provider in the United States to pay the largest ever settlement amount to consumers. The state's largest Internet service provider, Spectrum — re-branded after Charter acquired Time Warner Cable in 2016 — failed to provide the promised Internet speed. Underwood has asked Charter to update its marketing practices to be in tandem with the service provided.
