Charter Drops 5G Ads Contested by AT&T, FTC Says

Charter opted to end ads contested by AT&T that mentioned the cable provider's 5G mobile service, the FTC said last week, referring to a National Advertising Division referral. With the marketing discontinued, the FTC said staff won't take further action. Charter emailed Tuesday that its Spectrum Mobile service offers "customers the best speeds at the best value and the letter references a process issue with NAD and is not related to our offerings. ... Charter is proud of our 5G services and our ads and disclosures are consistent with industry standards."
