CenturyLink joins Comcast in bringing data caps to home Internet

CenturyLink — home to just over 6 million broadband providers — said that it's looking into using data caps. "Our competition is using metered plans today," said Stewart Ewing, CenturyLink's chief financial officer. "And we think it's an area we have to explore and consider." Ewing added that CenturyLink intends to start trials, likely later in 2016.
