The Federal Trade Commission opened a claims process for former AT&T customers who have yet to claim a refund stemming from the FTC’s lawsuit against the company for misleading consumers about its unlimited data plans.

Former AT&T customers may be eligible to claim a refund from the $7 million remaining in a fund created to settle allegations that the wireless provider charged for “unlimited” data plans while reducing their data speeds, a practice known as throttling.

The FTC in 2019 required AT&T to provide $60 million for refunds for failing to disclose to millions of smartphone customers with unlimited data plans that once they reached a certain amount of data use in a given billing cycle, AT&T would reduce or throttle their data speeds. Some customers experienced data speeds so slow that many common phone applications, such as web browsing and video streaming, became difficult or nearly impossible to use.

The money paid by AT&T was deposited into a fund that the company used to provide partial refunds to current and former customers who had unlimited plans that were throttled by AT&T. The company gave a bill credit to current AT&T customers and sent refund checks to former customers.

AT&T has not been able to reach everyone who was eligible for a refund. The FTC is using the remaining $7 million from the fund to provide partial refunds to consumers who meet all these requirements:

they are a former AT&T customer;
they had an unlimited data plan at some point between October 1, 2011 and June 30, 2015;
they experienced data throttling; and
they have not received a bill credit or payment from AT&T related to this matter.

Consumers who meet these requirements can submit a claim online at www. ftc.gov/ATT. Consumers can contact the claims administrator by calling 1-877-654-1982 or emailing [email protected] if they have questions or if they would like to request a claim form. Consumers have until May 18, 2023, to submit a claim.

Prepositions IN and ON

The main difficulty in using Russian prepositions lies in the large number of exceptions. However, first of all, it is worth understanding the basic principle – which of the prepositions to use with this or that word.

If we are talking about material objects, such as a table, wardrobe, refrigerator, box, chest of drawers, then the preposition “On” means the location on the surface of the object (on top), and “In” – inside the object.
For example:
Put clothes in chest of drawers.

Put clothes on chest of drawers.

Put the textbook on the table.

Put the textbook on the table.

Even with objects that do not have clear boundaries, such as grass, both “In” and “On” can most often be used.

Example:
We had a picnic on the grass.

A rabbit is hiding in the grass.

So, if one object is clearly located on the surface of another, we use the preposition “On”.

Attention! According to the logic of the language, this surface is represented as something open, not limited from above. This is worth remembering, because such a view of things helps to understand the logic and culture of the language, which further develops the linguistic flair.

For example:
on the street

on the bridge

on the shore

at bus stop

on the square

on the balcony

at stadium

on the market

on chair

on the sofa

on the table

on plate

on the mountain

on the island

And also the preposition “On” is used when we talk about cardinal points:
In the south, in the north, in the west, in the east.

There are a number of exceptions to this rule. Here are some of them:
We use “B” when talking about bodies of water (meaning being in the water):
Fish swim in the river.

We swim in the lake.

Also “B” is used with the word chair when referring to the person sitting in it. And with the word hand.
I like to sit in a comfortable chair.

Toddlers are taught to hold a spoon in their hand.

We use the preposition “B” when talking about an object located within another object. That is, the second one appears to be something closed, like a box. Or having clear boundaries.

For example:
in apartment

at home

in the country

in the park

in the garden

Exceptions:
at home

at the station

in stock

factory

factory

on the floor

If we are not talking about material objects, but events, then most often we use the preposition “On”.
For example:
in class

at the opera

at the exhibition

We can also say “in the opera”, but then the word “opera” goes from the category of an event to the category of a building with its walls and roof. That is, it would mean “at the opera house”

Exceptions:
while traveling

traveling

on the road

on vacation

on a business trip

in the cinema

We can’t mention absolutely all exceptions related to the use of prepositions in this article, so you may encounter others that you just need to remember.

Prepositions are placed before nouns, numerals and pronouns in different cases. At the same time, this part of speech is not used with words in the nominative case. Prepositions are divided into 3 categories: by origin, by composition and by meaning. Let’s take a look at each of them.

Classes of prepositions by meaning

By meaning, the prepositions of the Russian language are divided into prepositions of time, place, reason, purpose, concession, object and mode of action. Consider them in a table with examples.

Types of prepositions according to their meaning
View	Prepositions	Example
Time	In, to, before, after, through, after, during, in continuation, in conclusion	By noon, after lunch, during pm, during week, etc.
Places	In, before, due to, behind, to, over, under, in front of, at, through, near, past, about etc.	In village, over mountains, over sea, through clearing, near houses, etc.
Causes	Due to, from, by, for the sake of, thanks to, due to, due to, due to	Due to mist, from fear, for honor, thanks to help, etc.
Targets	For, for, by, for, to, for the sake of, for the purpose of, for the purpose of	For colors, for conversation, for security , etc.
Concessions	Despite, despite	Despite advice, despite persuasion, etc.
Action object	oh oh oh oh pro about	About me, about farmstead, about field, about weather, about work
Comparisons	C, like, like, like	Animal like cats, bright like sun, etc.
Mode of action	With, without etc.	With sadness, without embarrassment , etc.

Test yourself

Read the word combinations below and determine which category of meaning the prepositions in them belong to.

Brought from distant countries, called for a conversation, the size of a sparrow, turned away with resentment, go to the well, meet after the ball.

Types of prepositions by composition

By composition, prepositions are divided into simple, complex and compound.

Simple prepositions consist of one word: in, over, under, against , etc.

Compound – from two words that are written with a hyphen: due to, over, from under , etc.

AND the third type – compound – these are prepositions that consist of two or three words, but are written without a hyphen: during, due to , etc.

Test yourself

Read the phrases below and determine which form the composition includes prepositions in them.

He rose above the water, watched for a month, looked out from under the snow, disappeared into the dawn, a plant like a poppy, stopped near the gate.

Types of prepositions by origin

By origin, prepositions are usually divided into derivatives and non-derivatives.

Derived prepositions are those prepositions that come from other parts of speech.

In total they have three subspecies: nominal, verbal and adverbial. The former were formed from nouns, the latter from gerunds, and the third, as you might guess, from adverbs. Derived prepositions are unambiguous – each of them belongs to only one type in the classification by meaning.

The examples below show that the same words can be both prepositions and other parts of speech in different sentences. It is important to distinguish between them so as not to be mistaken in morphological analysis.

Non-derivative prepositions are such prepositions that were not formed from other parts of speech.

They have always been prepositions and are not like words in other parts of speech. Non-derivative prepositions are often polysemantic, that is, they can refer to two or more types by meaning.

For convenience, we have collected everything you need to know about derivative and non-derivative prepositions in the table below. Save it and use it when you need it!

Read the word combinations below and determine what kind of origin the prepositions in them belong to.

Continuous and separate writing of prepositions

And now let’s talk in more detail about the very tricks of this part of speech, which we talked about at the beginning of the article. The fact is that some of the prepositions can be written together or separately. And if you do not know the peculiarities of their spelling, this can become a problem. To figure out when prepositions should be written together, and when – separately in Russian, the table with a list of rules and examples below will help.

How all prepositions are written in Russian
Type of prepositions	How to write	Example
Plain	In a word	In dreams, over abyss, for protection
Complex	Through a hyphen	Due to snow, due to rain
Compounds derivatives	Slitno If the preposition is formed from an adverb. In some cases, if the preposition is formed from a noun in the oblique case: in view of, instead of, like, due to, about, like . Note: due to circumstances, but: have mean . If the preposition is formed from a gerund. In this case, it is important to distinguish between a preposition and a gerund. How to define a preposition: it can be replaced by another preposition, and the gerund by another gerund	Along shore, near houses, opposite road. Due to separation, about leave. Despite danger, despite sadness
Compounds derivatives	Separate In some cases, if the preposition is formed from a noun in the oblique case: during, in continuation, in conclusion, in connection with, due to, for the purposes of, due to, in accordance with, in relation to, at the expense of, in the form of, to the extent . Please note: during work, but: arrived on time	As advances, due to flood, due to circumstances
