certain states, and that’s unfair
Data caps should go away during the pandemic, period. BY MARK HACHMANC
omcast said Wednesday that it
will suspend its data caps in over
a dozen states and the District of
Columbia for at least six months,
apparently because of a deal the company
struck with the state of Pennsylvania.
If you live anywhere else in the United
States, your reaction was probably the sameas mine: Why isn’t Comcast doing the rest of
us the same favor?
Though Comcast services most of the
United States, only these 14 states will see a
suspension of their data caps for six months:
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia,
