Please see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/data-usage-plan, especially the "How do I avoid overage charges?" link, and the links under "Questions and Answers About Our Unlimited Data Option".

Going back to your original question, there are a few ways not to pay overage fees: pay for unlimited, use less data,  find another ISP.  If you don’t like the first, look into the second.  Another ISP might be a way to go too, but check carefully – many have caps and some of the caps are MUCH lower than Xfinity's.  Some ISPs market "Unlimited" plans with no overage fees, but what really happens is that if you use over a certain amount in a month, the speed drops so much, that even sending an email is slow.

It's absolutely a scam.  Just like we haven't been able to cancel our home phone for years now since the reps just spew the canned line of "it'll increase your monthly rate to remove it from your plan".  How the heck does that make any sense?  Canceling a service like this should ALWAYS reduce cost.

I agree!!!  I only need internet! I told them if they want my business offer me an internet only deal. They did....I got the 600mb service which the fastest wired connection I have gotten was 328mb.  

Its all ridiculous...Just offer what's fair. 

As for another ISP I will look into it and they do not have caps...however I am waiting for their new system to get up an running and hopefully it will be way faster. Comcast has this area locked down so they can do what ever they want. The 3rd option is Verizon DSL which is expensive with slow speeds.  

Hello @cplank00, thanks for reaching out to our Digital Care Team on our Forums page. We apologize for the delay. We appreciate you being a customer with us and definitely understand your concerns around the Data usage plan. With everyone being home lately, my family and I are too experiencing going over the data usage plan. This is why we do offer an Unlimited Data Option.

For customers who lease an xFi Gateway, the Unlimited Data Option is available via the xFi Complete package. For customers who own their own modem, there is a $30 monthly fee. The fee is independent of actual data usage. Please follow this link https://comca.st/3pf4GTj, for more information on how to avoid overage charges.
