While a lot of ISPs gave up on data caps, the language is still lurking in
many Terms Of Service.
https://www.fcc.gov/document/chair-rosenworcel-proposes-investigate-impact-data-caps
proposed Notice of Inquiry to learn more about how broadband providers use
data caps on consumer plans. Data caps, or usage limits, are a common
practice where an internet service provider (ISP) restricts how much
bandwidth or data a consumer uses, though many broadband ISPs temporarily
or permanently refrained from enforcing or imposing data caps in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the agency would like to better
understand the current state of data caps, their impact on consumers, and
whether the Commission should consider taking action to ensure that data
caps do not cause harm to competition or consumers’ ability to access
broadband Internet services.
