Burlington County lawmakers push back against internet data caps
Burlington County lawmakers have pushed back against plans to charge residential internet customers a fee for exceeding data limits amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sen. Troy Singleton was one of three state lawmakers last week to introduce a bill in the New Jersey Senate that would prohibit internet service providers from increasing rates during a public health emergency.
The bill s introduction comes after Comcast began to roll out its 1.2 terabyte (TB) data plan for Xfinity internet customers in its northeast region, which includes New Jersey, on Jan. 1.
The plan establishes a monthly data usage cap of 1.2 TB for its residential internet customers. Customers who exceed the 1.2 TB data cap are charged additional fees, up to an additional $100 per month.
