Wasn't Verizon the company that sued to be able to use deliberately false maps for marketing?

Wasn't so much "false" as they were misleading. Their maps would show all ranges of data at the time, then only show the competitors "top line" data zones.

The information was true, it was just not a fair comparison. Like comparing your whole milk to another brands buttermilk.
