Title: Comcast's 1TB data cap starts rolling out across the U.S. Post by: HCK on October 11, 2016, 04:05:12 pm Comcast's 1TB data cap starts rolling out across the U.S.
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Comcast said bandwidth caps would be back before 2019 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2155286/comcast-exec-says-bandwidth-caps-for-all-to-return-within-five-years.html), and now the company's living up to its promise.</p><p> The cable provider recently announced that its 1 terabyte bandwidth cap for Xfinity Internet subscribers would start rolling out more broadly. Comcast’s data caps are currently in effect in 16 regions with another 18 regions getting the bandwidth cap on November 1. You'll find the complete list of current and upcoming bandwidth cap regions at the bottom of this post.</p><p> The company settled on the 1TB cap limit after experimenting with various caps for several years in select areas. During that time, Comcast appeared to be favoring a 300GB cap, but never rolled it out nationwide. Then in April, Comcast bumped up the cap in its test markets (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3062596/internet/comcast-raises-trial-data-caps-to-a-terabyte-but-wont-commit-to-nationwide-rollout.html) to 1 terabyte.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3128858/home-tech/comcasts-1tb-data-cap-starts-rolling-out-across-the-us.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Comcast's 1TB data cap starts rolling out across the U.S. (http://www.macworld.com/article/3128858/home-tech/comcasts-1tb-data-cap-starts-rolling-out-across-the-us.html#tk.rss_all) |
