Americans are ignorant and utterly obsessed with laissez-faire capitalism
The oligarchs are. The patriots I’ve met all understand that capitalism requires guardrails and protections. It’s similar to democracy that way, actually.
T-Mobile had a similar subscription in the Netherlands for mobile internet: you got a certain amount of GB with normal bandwidth, when you reached that quota, your bandwidth got limited to 400kbps (but unlimited amount of data).
You can still watch YouTube at 600Kbs, at 480p. I know because I’m a paying customer of TMobile, and I get capped at that every month, after about three days of sweetness.
US is a weird country.
I live in EU, and I haven’t even heard of bandwidth quotas on home fiber. Cheap mobile subscriptions have some, though. But mostly it’s just no limit.
It used to be that way in the U.S. but Americans love companies extracting rent at the same time the public is subsidising them.

You mean data quotas, bandwidth is what is capped.

Not for home internet though.
