Charter Communications has agreed to pay $174.2 million to settle an action brought in 2017 by the New York Attorney General’s Office that alleged the cable and internet company promised customers internet speeds that it couldn’t deliver.

The settlement includes the largest-ever payout to consumers by an internet service provider in U.S. history, according to a statement from the office of New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood. The accord calls for $62.5 million in direct refunds to more than 700,000 subscribers in New York.
