I'll never understand how you guys in the US are fine with having bandwidth limits on your broadband connections. I'd be pissed. I even have unlimited on my phone. Like wth?

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there's only two parties, they're both to the right of center, and they're both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we're all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

Where in the world do you not have bandwidth limits? If there were no bandwidth limits I could just DOS my entire ISP by downloading petabytes between two of my own computers.

I think you are mistaking bandwidth limits with data caps?

At some point all devices have a bandwidth limit. Even if you somehow had a 10gb/sec phone data connection (which is absolutely not possible) your phone device literally cannot transfer data that fast.
