My personal opinion is that Cable TV sales are hurt by people using streaming services like Amazon, Netflix, Hulu or such. Since this streaming occurs over Comcast's internet pipeline, imposing a data limit and charging extra for exceeding that is probably one way for them to mitigate the Cable TV revenue lost to streaming.
Awesome right? For me it just started a few months ago. Before that I had unlimited data with them for the past decade+.

Damn, that sucks.
Dont get me wrong, there are plans in Portugal where you have data limits (ie: 150gb) but they are really cheap, like 10€/month
