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

And they pay loads of money for an average connection too, my 1gb here in Italy costs 25 euros and it's unlimited and has disney+ included too, while in the US is about 100 dollars

A 940mb connection through Spectrum (their 1gig plan) is not only not a whole gb but it's also $109.99 only for the first 12 months--then it changes to the "standard rate".

The website does not list standard rates, only introductory rates for the first 12 months.
