67% Informative

The FCC is investigating whether data caps imposed by some broadband Internet service providers are having a harmful impact on consumers and competition.

Some broadband providers like Comcast , Cox and AT&T impose caps on the amount of broadband data a customer can use until they start accruing overage fees.

It isn't clear if the FCC has the legal authority to force ISPs to remove data caps.
