If you’re a Comcast customer, you might want to enjoy that unlimited home internet you’ve currently got, because starting in November, most of Comcast’s subscribers will be subject to one-terabyte caps. While there are quite a few regions dealing with such caps right now, Comcast is set to implement that cap in many more regions on November 1.

This means if you spend most of your free time on the internet, you may want to check with Comcast to see how much you’re using each month. That’s especially true if you frequently download games or stream HD movies. You’ll want to this because, naturally, data caps mean overages if you happen to find yourself on the wrong side of 1TB.

Go over twice in a 12-month period and nothing will happen in those first two instances. However, on the third time going over that 1TB cap, Comcast will charge $10 per 50GB in overages. Overage charges will halt at $200, and if you already know that this 1TB cap will be problematic, you can pay an extra $50 per month to have unlimited internet.
