Comcast To Charge $30 Extra Per Month To Avoid Data Caps

Comcast will start allowing subscribers in some markets to pay an extra $30 a month in order to avoid data caps, according to DSLReports. Currently, the company is testing a cap of 300GB a month, with overages of $10 per 50 GB, in several markets. The new "unlimited" option will cost an additional $30 a month regardless of the amount of data consumed, the company says in an FAQ. "Note that customers enrolled in the Unlimited Data Option who use less than 300 GB in a given month will still be charged $30 for that month," Comcast writes.
Why in the world did COMCAST ever engage data caps in the first place? It was to put them in position for this very nice and large new data cap price increase. There network will be congested now yet getting more money for the same congestion at nice price increase. Well done COMCAST you are the leader in being a cable monopoly.
