Comcast's $10 per 50 GB over the limit might only be partially accurate. Customer support is terrible, but the person I spoke to (about a year ago at this point so it may have changed) explained to me that it was $1 per GB over the 1TB limit. My response was something like "so you're saying that if there was a month that I used 2TB, or double the data cap, I would be charged over $1000 dollars". He responded back to me saying that technically you can upgrade to a truly unlimited plan for an additional $30 (or maybe it was $50) per month.
Honesty, I don't remember the exact numbers, and this was awhile ago, but I was glad to hear that this option existed, but also skeptical on whether or not the support agent had the proper information.
Out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search:
(250 Mbps) * 1 month =
82.1794947 terabytes of max download
Theoretically, if I used my 250 Mbps connection at maximum download speeds non-stop for a full month, the most I could possibly use is 82 TB. I sure hope some better competition in the US can bring better deals for the customer. I'm okay with paying a fair price, I just don't like being capped.
