[The company] will pay $60 million to settle a Federal Trade Commission complaint filed in 2014 over the company's throttling practices. The FTC charges that while [the company] promised its customers unlimited data, it didn't adequately disclose that data speeds could be slowed to the point where common smartphone applications, such as web browsing and video streaming, would be difficult, if not impossible, to use.
