- Pausing Our Data Plan: With so many people working and educating at home, Comcast wants customers to access the Internet without thinking about data plans. While the vast majority of our customers do not come close to using 1TB of data in a month, Comcast is pausing their data plans for 60 days giving all customers Unlimited data for no additional charge.
- No Disconnects or Late Fees: Comcast will not disconnect a customer's internet service or assess late fees if they contact Comcast and let Comcast know that they can't pay their bills during this period. Comcast care teams will be available to offer flexible payment options and can help find other solutions.
