Comcast Delaying Data Cap Overage Charges Until August For Northeast Region, Including Maryland CBS Baltimore 2/4/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS Baltimore BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Comcast is pushing back its plans to charge customers who exceed data caps days after officials in Baltimore and elsewhere raised concerns the cable giant’s move amounted to price gouging amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Late last month, three Baltimore city councilmembers asked the state to review Comcast’s plan to charge $10 per 50 gigabytes customers use over a 1.2 terabyte threshold, up to $100 per month. The trio, along with the Baltimore Digital Equity Coalition, called it “predatory price gouging.” “To add this arbitrary capricious fee in the middle of a pandemic is unacceptable,” Baltimore City Councilman Zeke Cohen said at the time.
