Massachusetts State Rep Calls Comcast’s Abandonment of Data Caps and Penalties ‘a Huge Win’

Comcast, which postponed its planned data caps and penalties on northeast customers when it came under fire at the peak of the current pandemic, has abandoned the plan altogether. Haverhill Rep Andy Vargas (D-MA) said he received word directly from Comcast in early December after following up on the company’s plan to charge those without unlimited plans $10 for every 50 gigabytes they use over the 1.2 terabyte limit, up to a maximum of $100 a month. “The latest we have is that they have no intention of reintroducing the data caps at all, which is a huge win,” Vargas said.
