- Comcast is adding a 1.2TB data cap for home users beginning on January 1. The company notes that 95% of subscribers will not be impacted by the change.
- Users who go over the cap will be charged $10 for every 50GB of data consumed over the initial limit. Additional monthly charges will never exceed $100.
- Comcast back in March temporarily suspended its data cap threshold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
If you rely on Comcast for your internet service, you might have to change your usage habits next year. Beginning on January 1, Comcast is implementing a data cap of 1.2TB for home users. Users who exceed that threshold will incur additional monthly fees.
While it's possible, if not likely, that Comcast would have implemented the data cap outside of the coronavirus pandemic, we can only imagine that the pandemic helped make Comcast's decision that much easier. With millions of Americans stuck at home over the past few months, internet browsing, music streaming, video-chatting, and video streaming skyrocketed and, in some instances, put a strain on some ISPs.
