Comcast to enforce 1.2TB data cap in entire 39-state territory in early 2021

The unpopular policy was already enforced in most of Comcast's 39-state US territory over the past few years, and the upcoming expansion will for the first time bring the cap to every market in Comcast's territory.

Comcast provides no way for customers to independently verify the meter readings, and there's no government regulation of broadband-data meters to ensure their accuracy.

Customers can avoid overage charges by spending an extra $30 a month on unlimited data or $25 for the "xFi Complete" plan that includes unlimited data and the rental cost for Comcast's xFi gateway modem and router.
