Things with caps aren't terrestrial broadband. You can have caps on cell based networks and still be considered broadband. One of the biggest issues is it companies like Comcast and AT&t will offer broadband service in an area but not necessarily offer only broadband service or not let you buy broadband service about also having their TV. And then they claim they're serving the area because they have broadband speeds or you can pay a bunch of money to have your service uncapped but that's not really the point of having a broadband connection available in the area.
