Comcast to Impose Home Internet Data Cap in Several States Next Year.
In 2021, Comcast intends to charge northeastern U.S. customers if they go over 1.2TB of data per month.
This data cap is already in effect for customers with non-unlimited plans in other parts of the nation.
Starting in January and February, Xfinity customers who aren't on an unlimited plan will be given a "credit" for data usage charges over 1.2TB while they get used to the new limits.
In March, exceeding the data cap will cost customers $10 per 50GB of data up to $100.
Customers will also receive one "courtesy" credit per year.
Though Comcast says 95% of its customers only average about 308GB of data use per month.
Internet use continues to grow as people work and find entertainment at home amid the pandemic
