"Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said.
    If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn’t be the first time a telecom provider got into【C9】________over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers.

    Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers’ anger over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most【C12】________provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many【C13】________to its monthly data cap and overage charges.
    Some Americans are getting so【C14】________with Internet providers they’re just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today【C15】________fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters".
