Internet service provider EarthLink has settled a long-running class action alleging it improperly levied early termination fees against its customers. As part of the settlement, EarthLink will lower its current fees, refund half of the fees to as many as 850,000 potential class members and drop any efforts to collect outstanding fees or report customers owing such fees to credit reporting bureaus. It will also pay $3.7 million in attorney fees, and three class representatives will each get $7,500 in "incentive awards."
