Internet speed is restricted.
Illegal to provide restricted residential wired networking. Among the series of poor choices our government makes, sometimes they create effective regulations. Bandwidth-restricted services are permitted only on mobile connections; residential wired speeds can only be limited by speed, which isn’t the quickest but still sufficient. This doesn’t stop companies from displaying a bandwidth cap and including a clause in the agreement whenever the law is updated—but fortunately it seems unlikely to occur soon.
Comcast imposes a 1.2 TB limit on its plan. You can opt for $10 per 50 Gbps when you exceed the cap, or choose a flat fee of $25 to $30 per month for unlimited service. Their monthly rate is $25 if you use their gateway and $30 if you install your own modem—they seem to be being unreasonable. They aren’t alone; Cox, Mediacom, and others also have data limits. Hellt Mobile’s 4G/5G internet offers “Unlimited,” but your usage gets the least priority throughout their network.
