Comcast has started data caps on people at 300 gigs. If you have a family with 2-3 teenagers and they love Netflix, Hulu, Youtube or other online streaming you can easily go over this limit and be charged $10 for every 50 gigs you go over leading to a very large cable bill. Comcast is doing this so that you will stop using their competitors like Hulu and Netflix and use their movie rental services and dvr which do not count against your data limit. We need to stop monopolies like this. It is unfair and unethical.
Comcast thinks they can squeeze us for every penny while they force their own services down our throats. The comments here prove that families are sick of being held hostage by these greedy corporate bullies who have zero respect for their customers.

It isn't fair! "those who use more data pay more. Those who use less data pay less". That's a lie!!! Those who use less data pay the same. Those who use more get screwed. And they are adding this during my contract. Not right!!!

I cannot express how annoyed I am by this. My husband and I both work from home and the internet is essential for our jobs. ComCast - we're breaking up with you.

This data cap is ridiculous. If we already pay too much for cable and Internet why should there be a data cap? Oh yeah...pay $30 more a month and the cap is gone. .what? ??? I already pay $250 a month!!

They already throttle bandwidth to large download sites, data limits are artificial ways to suck more money out of the customer. It is not worth staying with Comcast if I can only download a few games a month.

Do not implement data caps or I cancel my service.
