Comcast isn't the only cable company doing this, they have all jumped on the band wagon, and there isn't anyone out there that is going to stop them. The FCC is just a joke, there isn't any reason for these caps, and everyone knows it. It's just another way for the cable companies to gouge more money out of everyone. I have 3 children who use their computers for school work, I work from home, and only occasionally do we watch Netflix or Amazon Prime, yet we manage to go over our 500gb rate every month. Why because every time we turn on a computer, a tablet, or our cell phone we are using data. Yet the cable companies are not paying anyone else for the data they supply. Someone please explain to me how this is fair.
