Netgear Settlement

 

[allisolm]

The way I read it, any qualifiers get to "purchase a new Netgear wireless product from Netgear's online store at a 15% discount..." oh, plus free shipping. Forgive me if I'm less than impressed. Although they do say the 15% is before any rebates, discounts or promotions thay may be offering at the time on the products.

Wow - $700,000 to the lawyers -

Class Counsel:

While everyone else gets a %15 Discount off netgear online store products?

Of course, that was the whole point of the exercise to begin with.

Class Action suits only benefit the lawyers

Some stupid Misleading Advertising claim or something. It lsits like every Netgear product every produced and you get a whopping 15% off. This is the most rediculous class actino suit I've ever seen.

Agreed. The only people who benefit from this are the stinking lawyers.

 

[dud]

THe plaintiffs must have had a HORRIBLE legal team. 15% off a product is rediculous. I am within this class (I purchased a number of Netgear wireless B equipment in 2002) and will not bother to even read the rest of the "settlement".

Who ALWAYS wins out in these legal actions? ... the lawyers or course!

I don't get it. Why were they sued and by who?

The complaint alleges that the ?Covered Netgear Wireless Products,? as defined below, do not achieve the advertised Mbps rates under alleged ?real-world? operating conditions described in the
complaint.

No details are availablebut it seems as if Netgear stated taht the wireless would provide a set throughput and they do not do so under "real world" conditions.

The plantiff apparently thought that they could get some easy money and only got 15% off on a single future purchase within 1 years time. Unless they arranged some kick back from the lawyers.

Kind of like the EPA mileage for your vehicle.

Does any wireless product EVER get the stated speeds in real-world conditions?

Meh, none of them do. I don't feel like collecting on this either. The people who brought up this lawsuit are idiots.
