But you may want to turn that feature off to avoid accidentally burning through your monthly allotment and paying extra, even if you're binging on your TV at home. One Comcast customer, for example, ended up using his entire 1TB monthly data allotment in November and received an unexpected notice from the internet service provider, as USA Today reported.
