Some potential reasons
- Remote backhaul / Satellite / Offshore
- Subsidized/cheap wireless plan
- Going over data cap, some carriers fall into a "safety" mode instead of charging you extra. I pay for 8gb/mo and would get throttled to similar speeds

- wegfawefgawefg 2y agoMy brand new OnePlus8pro was blacklisted in Japan for being under the oppo brand a couple years ago. (The system in japan works on whitelisting, its corrupt and stupid) Anyways I had a $1000 phone, and I was not about to throw it away. So I continued to use it via an American cell company, which gives me just enough internet for wikipedia. Google maps doesnt work about 70% of the time. Since then I have realized not having good internet is good for my brain. It keeps me reading gigamonkeys and downloading pdf's before I go places rather than doomscrolling twitter.
