The FTC is looking into deceptive claims by ISPs as to Internet access, including broadband speed claims.

As much as I dislike the arrogance of larger ISP providers who hold monopolies on certain service areas (Time Warner, Comcast, etc.), the thought of the FTC investigating or fining these companies isn’t pleasant. Any associated costs will simply be passed along to you and I on our monthly bills.

Hat tip to the S.F. Chronicle.
