How Comcast Plans to Boost Your Internet Bill With New Fees

Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA ) has begun testing data caps in certain markets and plans to make what it prefers to call "usage-based" billing standard policy across the country within the next five years.

Previously, in nearly all cases, Internet data was an unlimited flat-rate, all-you-can-eat buffet. Under its new plan, which Comcast has already rolled out in a number of test cities, the company will sell users a flat amount of data and then charge them overages. This will take a system where customers had cost certainty and replace it with the model that has served the cell-phone industry so well -- one where subscribers pay more if they go over a set limit.
