Comcast said Thursday it plans to limit the amount of data residential
customers can download and upload to 250 GB per month, starting
October 1.
The move follows action by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
earlier this month in which the FCC criticized and banned Comcast's practice
of throttling back BitTorrent peer-to-peer traffic in an effort to manage and
reduce network congestion. The FCC's decision was seen as an attempt to
prevent violations of so-called net neutrality principles that ensure uninterrupted
Internet traffic.
Other ISPs have in place or are testing caps, according to the Associated Press.
Cox Communications has monthly caps that vary from 5 GB to 75 GB. Time
Warner Cable is testing caps between 5 GB and 40 GB in one market. The telephone
company Frontier Communications plans to charge extra for use of more than 5 GB
per month, the AP said.
