Altice is facing a consumer lawsuit from officials in Connecticut over its decision to raise a little-known fee on its Internet service there.
On Monday, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said the lawsuit against Altice alleged violations of the state’s Unfair Trade Practice Act as it relates to Altice’s decision to charge subscribers of its Optimum Internet service a Network Enhancement Fee.
Earlier this year, Altice said the Network Enhancement Fee would rise from $4.50 per month to $6 per month. The increase came as Altice affirmed it was lowering the standard rate for its Optimum Internet service across different tiers.
Altice justified the Network Enhancement Fee increase as necessary to continue making investments in its fiber-based services. The adjustment was more-noticeable to customers who were paying promotional prices for Optimum Internet, as the price adjustment tacked on an extra $1.50 per month...

“We have to hammer on the abusers in every way possible.” This quote from Richard Sackler, the man widely considered to be the “godfather” of OxyContin, perfectly exemplifies how his company, Purdue Pharma, got away with addicting millions of people through lies and deception — by blaming the victims for Purdue’s crimes.
As the creator of the Hulu limited series Dopesick, I was shocked and outraged by the obscene criminality of Purdue Pharma, which was owned and managed by members of the Sackler family. The company’s “big lie” was to aggressively market an addictive narcotic while significantly understating the risk of addiction by using misleading studies, manipulated blood charts and deceptive slogans and by pushing “expert” testimony regarding OxyContin’s safety from “independent” doctors who were in actuality on Purdue’s payroll.
These actions that created the opioid crisis might be the greatest crime in U.
