NO DATA CAPS! with other Internet providers Internet providers worldwide have been assessing fees for Internet power-users. That is, setting limits as to how much data consumers can download over the course of a billing cycle without added fees. Currently, most consumers in the US have some kind of Internet data caps enforced through their Internet provider and smartphone data plan provider.

Comcast charges a fee for uploading and downloading more than 300 GB per month, AT&T charges for over 150 GB in data transfer per month, and limits usage at 100 GB for its entry-level Internet service. Exceeding these provider limits result in hefty, unbudgeted monthly fees.

This may not seem like a big deal, but the 100 GB cap is a sum of the data transfer for ALL of the devices for ALL of the users within your home throughout the billing month. This includes Internet access on computers, laptops, tablets, gaming Slice of Summer consoles, Internet-enabled TV’s and Blu-ray® players, smartphones, eReaders, and more all count toward data transfer PLACE: Wait Park Gazebo activity.
