While there are definitely some terrible ISPs out there, not every instance of someone not being able to use as much bandwidth as they want is a great injustice. Sometimes it’s just sane network management. LTE networks in particular are limited in capacity. There are a bunch of different ways to limit use with different tradeoffs, and bandwidth caps actually strike a good balance between effectiveness and predictability. I have a lot of experience thinking about and implementing bandwidth pricing models, and I don’t have time to list all the options and their tradeoffs here, but you can suggest one you think is better if you want. Bandwidth caps cause users to limit their use, while still allowing a user to use the network heavily without penalty when they need to. The real problem here is that OP doesn’t have an intuitive UX for limiting upload bandwidth to something he is comfortable with. Webtorrent then breaks his assumption that web browsing will not incur upload bandwidth.
