NEW YORK A group of unhappy Cingular customers filed a class-action lawsuit yesterday, claiming that the cell phone company degraded the quality of service after it bought AT&T Wireless, their original provider, in 2004.

The plaintiffs, who are seeking class action status, also charge that Cingular engaged in false advertising, breached their contracts and violated consumer protection laws. The suit was filed by the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based watchdog group.
