I know that this is in the context of the US. But for once lets do the other way around. At tue beginning of 2024 i went to stay a couple of months with my family in Egypt. The internet plans there is caped by default, you can't get unlimited bandwidth (forget speed) no matter what plan do you have. It is cheaper if you compare with US dollars (forget PPP) but this assume that you usage is limited. I had to renew the plan one month 6 times (making it more expensive that what I pay in the US with less speed). I did not explore the idea of getting business plan (probably could not anyway because I had to be a registered business).
And I am not talking about wireless plans or mobile data. I am talking about the home internet (VDHL mainly but with some fibre in some areas).
And as another commentator said, people consume a lot of data to ads (media or text) with the average page reload of some websites of ~10 MB. I introduced ublock origin, alternative YouTube frontend to many people and they were happy with their overall experience.
* I have a friend who usually renew a plan each time a couple of steam games needs an update
