Comcast Delays 1.2 TB Data Cap Plan Implementation

Comcast is pausing -- but not halting -- rollout of its 1.2 TB data plan across a variety of Eastern and Northeastern states (see 2011230037), it said Wednesday. The rollout set to happen in March is being delayed to give customers "additional time to become familiar with the new plan," Comcast emailed. It said the soonest that customers who exceed 1.2 TB of data could see overage charges is the August bill. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) said he negotiated with Comcast to delay implementation of the overage charges and a waiver of the early termination fee for customers who opt out this year.
