Comcast has expanded the list of cities where it imposes data caps, with customers in parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia facing new data limits and overage charges.

DSLReports reported the expansion yesterday and reprinted an e-mail that is informing customers that they will face the data caps beginning December 1.

"While we believe that 300GB is more than enough to meet your Internet usage needs, if for any reason you exceed the 300GB included in your plan in a month, we will automatically add blocks of 50GB to your account for an additional fee of $10 each," Comcast wrote. "We’re also implementing a three-month courtesy program. That means you will not be billed for the first three times you exceed the 300 GB included in the monthly data plan."
