AT&T DSL Speed Lawsuit

I've been notified there was a DSL speed lawsuit that involves me.
I've been documenting my speeds here in A.I and with AT&T's customer
service department for the last year.

But after 13 hours of my own time on the phone listening to all
their non-promises and their excuses for non-compliance of their TOS
they say I'm only entitled to $2/month credit after the tort lawyers
take the other 80% of over $80 million.

Did I do something wrong?

Is is still within my rights as a US citizen to be pissed off? (is
that still legal?) Does anybody else want to invest in a J.S. Plane?

A class action lawsuit ALWAYS benefits the lawyers, and rarely
benefits the members of the class action. Sure, tort reform could
limit the lawyer fees to 10% in all class action suits, but that would
benefit "big business" so  libtards and lawyers are against it.

Class action suits are worthless....they're just a method to enrich trial 
lawyers and fuck their clients.
Do you remember the original one that opened up the floodgates of Legally 
Fucking Your Client?
The Ninetendo class action suit, where they got away with giving everyone 
they fucked a coupon good for "$5.00 off your next purchase of a nintendo 
game cartridge"!!!!???  The lawyers got filthy rich, and the law made 
Nintendo do some perfect marketing and increase sales as a result of their 
"loss of suit".
After that it was open season on the middle class of America...about the 
same time the democrats took over congress and the senate.  Go figure the 
odds of that coincidence!

The only way is to go to small claims court or hire a lawyer and if your 
cause is just and right, win, and you can get triple damages and get them 
to pay for YOUR lawyer.

Don't worry, they'll settle for between $15,000 and $70,000 before you go 
to trial...they all do.
I dated a legal secretary and I've studied the law and the inside 
information is that this about what you can expect, but you have to wait it 
out for a few years, usually 3-5.
