Maine gets $45,000 from Vonage Settlement

According to Maine's attorney general, the state will get a small chunk from the $3 million multistate settlement with Vonage that was announced last week.

Thirty one other states were part of the $3 million settlement due to customer complaints over three main issues: the difficulty of canceling service; a requirement to have a high-speed broadband line to access the service; and the definition of "free" services, including money back guarantees and trial service periods. Most of the $3 million will go to the state governments to pay for legal fees dealing with the settlement. Vonage will also refund customers claiming to be affected by the alleged problems, but the cost of those refunds will not be determined until customers come foward and Vonage begins making the refunds.
