Comcast ready to pay $15.5 million to settle the class action lawsuit against it. According to the claims Comcast asked for premium subscribers to pay set-top box rental fees which is the violation of antitrust laws.<\/p>\n

Including Current and former Comcast premium subscribers in California, Washington, or West Virginia who paid  a  rental fee for set-top box between Jan. 1, 2005 and Sept. 5, 2018, can get compensation.<\/p>\n

In addition, all U.S. premium subscribers can receive the same benefits from the Comcast class action settlement as long as they chose to opt out of Comcast\u2019s arbitration clause.<\/p>\n

Case Summary- Comcast set top box Settlement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Comcast class action lawsuit claimed that without renting a set-top box, subscribers are unable to view  premium cable services as Comcast doesn\u2019t allow consumers to buy their own set-top box.<\/p>\n

A plaintiff said that , Comcast has more than 24 million customers and there is very little competition in the 39 states for cable television.<\/p>\n

However, customers claimed that the company \u201cabuses its economic power\u201d by forcing rental services for set-top box premium cable services.<\/p>\n

However, the Comcast  will pay between $10 in cash and up to $59.95 in credit to a class members to resolve the case.<\/p>\n

Actual settlement payouts will depend on how long a Class Member subscribed to Comcast. Therefore to get the benefit from settlement file a valid claim form before deadline.<\/p>\n

Moreover, class Members have until July 9, 2019 to opt out of the settlement or ask to be excluded from its terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
