On Tuesday, the nation's largest internet provider announced that, starting Jan. 1, it would extend its 1.2 terabyte data cap to previously-exempt service areas - meaning once you hit that limit, you'll have to pay more to use more. After a three-month grace period, this move will leave residential subscribers in 14 states from West Virginia to Maine, plus the District of Columbia, facing surcharges of up to $100 for exceeding that limit. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2020/11/25/comcast-xfinity-data-cap-att-verizon-charter-internet-provider/6425921002/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <ab1d237c-f04e-c518-334a-ddb37e25c15a@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 20:09:19 -0500 From: Bill Horne <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Fwd: Thanksgiving Greetings from CWA CWA NEWSLETTER November 25, 2020 Happy Thanksgiving CWA 501 Third Street NW Washington, DC 20001 <CWA Newsletter> *Text CWAACTION to 69866 to Join Our Rapid Response Text List* Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC. ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 26 Nov 2020
