Of course they’re gonna be bringing back data caps, even though it was proven that comcast lied about why data caps were introduced in the first place. It’s just greed. Break up Comcast & interent division should be treated like a utility.

Comcast lost TV subscribers because we have a choice now. Comcast gained internet customers because many of us don’t have a choice ... yet.

Maybe because they won't cancel internet if your behind, but will cancel your cable as soon as you miss a payment. Not like people are dealing with a hardship right now or something

They’re rich. I’m sure they’ll survive
