Many plans do throttle. On my “unlimited data” cell phone plan, YouTube, Netflix, etc all can only really load at 480p, even in areas where speeds are fast enough for hd video.
In those areas, I can use a vpn and easily get hd video.
Although, the cell network is pretty terrible where I am, and more often than not there is no hope for streaming hd video.
