Introducing a Terabyte Internet Experience

We’re writing to let you know that we will be trialing a new XFINITY Internet data usage plan in your area. Starting August 1, 2016, your monthly XFINITY Internet service will include a terabyte data usage plan (that’s 1,024 GB).

With 1 terabyte of data you can stream about 700 hours of HD video, play more than 12,000 hours of online games, or download 600,000 high-res photos in a month. If you believe you will need more data, we also offer an Unlimited Data Option.

Your average data usage for the past three months is 451 GB, so based on your historical usage, with this new plan you can stream, surf, game, download or do whatever you want online, worry free. Less than 1% of Comcast XFINITY Internet customers use a terabyte of data or more in a month.

Details of the Terabyte and Unlimited Plans:

1 Terabyte (TB) included/month	If 1 TB is exceeded, $10 for each additional data block of up to 50 GB/month	$200 overage limit - no matter how much data you use
Unlimited Data	$50 per month	No overage charges — no matter how much data you use

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:

• Usage meter – Monitor how much data you have used with our Data Usage Meter.
• Data Usage Calculator - Estimate your data usage with our Calculator Tool. Simply enter how often and how much you typically use the Internet, and the calculator will estimate your monthly data usage.
• Notifications - Should you approach a terabyte of usage, we will send you a courtesy "in-browser" notice and an email letting you know when you reach 90%, 100%, 110%, and 125% of that amount. Usage notifications will not be sent to customers who enroll in the unlimited data option. Learn more about notifications here. For the small percentage of customers who use more than a terabyte of data, we will offer them two courtesy months so they will not be billed the first two times they exceed a terabyte while they are getting comfortable with the new data usage plan. If you have any questions about the new data usage plan, please see our FAQs.

Thank you for being an XFINITY Internet Customer.

Sincerely,

John Crowley Regional Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Greater Chicago Region

Please note that this is a consumer trial. Comcast may modify or discontinue this trial at any time. However, we will notify you in advance of any such change.

Obviously, I'm disappointed that they're trialing a data plan in my area (I'm in the Chicago area). But I'm happy that it's not 300GB or 500GB.
