They’ve restored them now; I got a notice last month. Two person household with one TV and one PC and a couple phones, no torrenting or anything.

Of course, Comcast's own OTT services are exempt from the data cap. What a coincidence :)

And a net neutrality violation. Maybe CA customers won't be subject to the cap anymore? Or maybe they'll force Comcast to include their own traffic in the cap?

Almost certainly the latter. Data caps are still legal, from my understanding.

Yes, the caps are legal, but counting some data towards the caps and other data not towards it is what's illegal. The question is will Comcast hamstring their own streaming service by counting in the cap, or just get rid of the cap?

Wait, you were uncapped until just last month? In my area the cap was only removed for 3 months total. They did generously raise it from 1TB to 1.2, though.
