Data Usage

My monthly data usage has been consistently between 500-600 GB until last month (September) when I received a text message informing me that I had used 75% of my internet data. It was a week away from the end of the month so I did not think too much about it. Today I received a message that I had us

Not being able to temporary turn off/on data is ridiculous.

I have kids who are on “by the gig” plans who frequently go over. Why is there not a way for me to simply select “once they reach the limit” turn off? (Dumb question, I know exactly why, because Xfinity wants to keep charging me). Give us the freedom to actually manage our own data!

Hello - Our household received notices from Xfinity about high data usage for November '24, but October is when the readings show an increase. The only major difference is that I replaced the modem with a new Netgear unit that's compatible with Xfini

Home Internet Data Usage Spike in Oct 2024

I am usually under the 1.2 Terabyte cap each month - I have gone over 3 times in the last 12 months, never more than 100Gb. However this month, I somehow used all 1.2 Terabytes in the first 10 days. Then over the next 3-5 days, I used another full 1.2TB. I am sitting at 2.56TB of usage with 16 days

Xfinity Mobile Limited Plan trap

This is about Xfinity Mobile – When some one buys a limited data plan, and the usage is exhausted Xfinity starts to charge some unusual charges like $15/gb/month and total it can cost you $300 because they straight away charge for 15 GB. This happened to the third line which they very well know it

We have our own modem. I have reviewed all the connected devices. Yes, I could change the password again. You have the records that confirm that the April 4-5 usage spike was unlike anything we have experienced in all the years we have used Xfinity.

Xfinity data usage spikes and breakdown of devices

I have noticed that Xfinity data usage spikes during 2023 while my habits have remained the same.

We have had Comcast for years. We have the same amount of devices we have always had. Our habits haven’t changed.
