Comcast Reluctantly Drops Data-Cap Enforcement in 12 States For Rest of 2021

Friday February 19, 2021. 08:02 PM , from Slashdot/Apple
Comcast is delaying a plan to enforce its 1.2TB data cap and overage fees in the Northeast US until 2022 after pressure from customers and lawmakers in multiple states. From a report: '[W]e are delaying implementation of our new data plan in our Northeast markets until 2022,' Comcast said in an announcement yesterday. 'We recognize that our data plan was new for our customers in the Northeast, and while only a very small percentage of customers need additional data, we are providing them with more time to become familiar with the new plan.' Comcast has enforced the data cap in 27 of the 39 states in which it operates since 2016, but not in the Northeast states where Comcast faces competition from Verizon's un-capped FiOS fiber-to-the-home service. In November 2020, Comcast announced it would bring the cap to the other 12 states and the District of Columbia starting in January 2021. But with yesterday's announcement, no one in those 12 states and DC will be charged overage fees by Comcast in all of 2021.
