Comcast Bumps Data Caps to 1 Terabyte
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) said its bumping up the ceiling in its controversial data-usage trials to 1 terabyte, effective June 1.
A terabyte is an enormous amount of data," said Marcien Jenckes, executive VP of consumer services for Comcast Cable. "It's far more than most of our customers will ever use in a month. Today, more than 99 percent of our customers do not come close to using a terabyte. Our typical customer uses only about 60 gigabytes of data in a month – that's far less than a terabyte (in fact, 940 gigabytes less), or less than six percent of a terabyte."
For the narrow group of power users who exceed 1TB of data usage a month, Jenckes added, Comcast is offering an unlimited plan for $50 a month. Increments of 50 GB can also be purchased for $10 each.
