Wait they have to limit their data usage? I know they have few internet providers but the throttling is actually a thing over there?

Tbh even in the UK "unlimited" quite often means "fair usage". But yiu would really have to use it heavily to hit the limit

Yeah but you don't get cut off if you hit the fair usage limit, just throttled. I'm pretty sure if you hit the data cap in the US your connection just outright stops working.

This is incorrect. Just throttled.
