AT&T today announced that it will increase its data caps on home Internet service, and expand enforcement. As a result, more customers will have to pay $10 overage charges for each 50GB they use beyond their monthly limit, similar to Comcast's data cap system.

AT&T will also let customers upgrade to unlimited data for $30 a month. This applies to Internet-only customers. People who purchase both AT&T Internet and either DirecTV or U-verse TV service will get unlimited home Internet data.

Previously, AT&T enforced a 150GB monthly cap on its DSL network. On May 23, AT&T will expand enforcement of caps to U-verse Internet service, which brings fiber closer to the home to boost speeds, and to "Gigapower," its fiber-to-the-home service.
