The trend is certainly true in the Prospect Heights market, with Internet choices like Xfinity selling plans with data caps. This doesn't matter for most Internet users, but it may affect subscribers that upload a lot of high-def video. Data caps on cable plans tend to be in the neighborhood of one Terabyte. This is a problem for less than 1% of Internet users, according to a report from Xfinity. Potential XFINITY from Comcast customers should confirm data caps when signing up.
