Information about a New Terabyte Internet Data Usage Plan

<tbody>

<tbody>
</tbody>

We’re writing to let you know that we will be activating a new XFINITY Internet Data Usage Plan in your area. Effective November 1, 2016, your XFINITY Internet service will include one terabyte (that’s 1,024 GB) of data usage per month. With a terabyte of data you can stream between 600 and 700 hours of HD video, play more than 12,000 hours of online games, or download 60,000 high-res photos in a month.

For the past three months, your average data usage was only
46 GB. Based on your usage history, you can still stream, surf, game, download and do whatever you want to do online, worry free.

</tbody>

One terabyte is a massive amount of data – less than 1% of our customers use that amount in a month. However, we still want to make sure you understand your options and choose the Data Usage Plan that works best for you. If you believe you will need more data, an Unlimited Data option is available. Our data plans are based on a principle of fairness. Those who use more Internet data, pay more. And those who use less Internet data, pay less.

One Terabyte Plan and Unlimited Data option:[TABLE="width: 510"]

[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

You can also track and manage your usage so there are never any surprises about how much data you use. Here are a few tools you can use:

• Data Usage meter – Monitor how much data your household has used with our Data Usage Meter.
• Data Usage Estimator - Estimate your data usage with our
  Estimator Tool. Simply enter how your household typically uses the Internet and the tool will estimate your monthly data usage.
• Notifications - If you approach, reach or exceed one terabyte of data usage, we will send you a courtesy "in-browser" notice as well as an email. You can also elect to receive notifications at specific usage thresholds and set up mobile text notifications. Learn more about notifications here. Usage notifications will not be sent to customers who enroll in the Unlimited Data option.

For the less than 1% of customers who do exceed one terabyte of data usage, we’re offering two courtesy months, so customers will not be charged the first two times they exceed one terabyte while they are getting comfortable with the new plan.

If you have any questions about the new Data Usage Plan, please visithttp://dataplan.xfinity.com/.

Thank you for being an XFINITY Internet customer.

So you use 46G and the want to put you on a TB plan?

 

[93 saturn sl2]

I got the same email too and used 85gb the past three months.

 

[The Man]

Yeah I got it too....

 

[loosenut]

I got it too. I've been averaging 203gb.

 

[mustangmike6996]

Is anyone upset about the new data cap?

 

[loosenut]

Haven't they always advertised a 250gb cap but never enforced it?

I could be wrong. Don't quote me on this.

I could be wrong. Don't quote me on this.

I believe they were trying out a 300gb cap first and there was a lot of backlash from the public.

 

[DBK]

I haven't received anything yet and I checked and it looks like I average around 450 gb a month.

Somethings odd with my account. I got an email, but it's generic and doesn't mention how much data I use. I tried using the data usage meter, and it shows less than 1GB for every month recorded, including current use in October. Maybe I'll give them a call just to ask how much they have on record of me using.

Or maybe I treat this like a broken meter and don't ask questions if it's reporting 0GB.. I assume I'm a bit over that between streaming Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, plus video games and general internet usage. Either way I'd expect to be well under 1TB

Just got my email....

For the past three months, your average data usage was only
67 GB. Based on your usage history, you can still stream, surf, game, download and do whatever you want to do online, worry free.
