I had this happen to me recently when I hit 90% of my data cap from Comcast for the first time.

At first I noticed that all traffic was being hijacked to show me a full page message that I was at 90% of my data limit and to contact the Comcast Security Assurance team. It looks really scammy like those alerts from "Microsoft" that my computer is infected.

After clicking on the acknowledge link multiple times it wouldn't stop so I called the security assurance team.

While waiting on hold for 30 minutes it finally stopped but I was already irate. I had to argued with the rep because he told me that I could disable the web notifications and he finally found out that Comcast removed that option and he apologized that there was nothing he could do.
