#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
This kind of thing was forced upon Australian telcos, and it's great for consumers. For example, they can no longer advertise the "up to" speeds, they have to use the "typical evening speed", which is what's more relevant to the actual experience.
It doesn't apply to LTE plans though - at least that I've seen. If you want an interesting test, find someone with a Telstra post-paid plan, and get a Boost Mobile SIM in another phone. Run speedtests side by side. Boost, although it's technically Telstra Pre-Paid, seems to be heavily throttled.

I’m not throwing shade but I’m genuinely curious what the infrastructure cost per user is when comparing Europe and US and Canada. Surely it might be part of the problem.

Phones are smart enough to know that shared networks are mobile behind the scenes and treat them as metered data too. You have to go into the wifi settings to disable that feature and force it as unmetered (how that works and whether you can even do it depends on the phone vendor...)

#28I average 2gb because I restrict myself since the rates I get are outreageous here in the US... I use wifi whenever I can to limit mobile usage (which is of course not included in the 2gb figure).

How much does it cost you and what's the average speed?
As for price, I've got 3 mobile lines with infinite data plus my home wifi at 600mbps and the whole thing costs 100€/month.
