'Called the "Xfinity Terabyte Internet Data Usage Plan," the cap restricts the amount of data you consume in your home to 1TB per month regardless of the speed of your plan. ', "Comcast's home internet data caps are going live for a majority of customers starting November 1st, the company announced today."
'But starting November 1st, the list will add 18 new markets, bringing the total number of states with the terabyte data cap to around 30. '
'Comcast claims 99 percent of customers use less than 1TB per month, but it does now offer an unlimited option for $50 more per month. ', "Comcast says customers will get two grace months every year, meaning you won't be charged unless you exceed the cap a third time in any given 12-month period."

Caps are bullshit but I don't think I was approaching that even when I was seeding 24/7.

4k streaming with a gb connection could hit this cap. Not as bad a a local ISP that brags about its cheap 100mbps with a pathetic 300gb usage cap.

How accurate is their section on what you can do with 1TB/mo data?

The Verge is corrupt and should be archived. It doesn't deserve our support.
