    What’s the data cap?

    For shit Comcast it is 1TB which is ridiculously low.

    Then they also completely lie to your face about your metrics to make it look like you are always constantly almost at the 1TB cap.

    My mom in America just had xfinity installed last fall at her house. She barely uses the internet besides web shopping, articles, and some Netflix. Every month she was somehow at 950-980GB. New WiFi password so there isn’t an intrusion, her computer was fine, there is no way she is using that much. Comcast just lies to your face to higher data caps. Data caps for internet should be illegal as it is.

      There’s not a “cap” but beyond 1.2TB you will get moved to low priority on your cell tower, so if there’s any network congestion your internet will go to shit.

      I’ve never ran into this issue since I live in a sweet spot thats close to a tower and doesn’t have any high occupancy buildings or heavy road traffic that would cause congestion.
