Internet Datacaps [2020] *spawn*

I have a feeling Comcast was banking on a different election outcome, and hopeful that ISP data cap policies will likely change under the new administration.

 

The cap has already existed for years in most states.

Here in WA, we've have a 1 TB data cap for Comcast for about 5 or 6 years now. It was bumped up to 1.2 TB this year due to the pandemic.

Unlikely since they started rolling out the cap early in the Obama administration in some test states. And they had soft caps all the way back to the Bush administration.

I think Net Neutrality will be reinstated and any hard caps will disappear.

Comcast is using the caps to promote usage of services like Tubi, Netflix, etc... by using Comcast apps as the launching point as opposed to directly using those services. The benefit of going through Comcast is any data usage is not counted towards your data cap.

 

British Telecom had a hilarious capped broadband package, Turns out if you downloaded at full speed you could hit your monthly allowance in about 1.5 hours
