I am very thankful that I do not live in the United States. Even in Canada where telecommunications services are notoriously expensive, data caps on cellphone plans are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Carriers like Freedom Mobile will simply throttle your speed instead of charging you a boatload of money once you pass your monthly data "limit".

Yikes! I pay a couple bucks more for uncapped gigabit. I'm fortunate in that there's two competing providers in my area that aren't in cahoots (that I can tell.) I much prefer the more expensive one and was able to get them to match the other's price.
My wife has been dropping hints she wants to move to another state though and I'm low key dreading dealing with a new ISP/losing my current plan.
I forget how lucky I am to live in a large city sometimes. 2Gb down, 1gbps up, $50 all in.
I pay $50 / mo for 100 down, 5 up 1.25tb cap. I feel ya. It's another $50 just for no cap.
As many others have already given their specs, I'll add mine: 1/1G fibre 55€/month, no data cap in rural Finland. And I can get the advertised speeds whenever (plus a bit more due to how they do the limit, but that's heavily load dependent). 10G plan is available too, but I don't have hardware or real need for that, so I don't know about pricing, but I'd quess less than a 100€/m. Only dynamic IPv4, I've been waiting for them to upgrade to IPv6 so I could have some real world experience with it.
I'm in a very small town, we only have a bar. $100/mo for 500mb/s up and down, at least I actually get that though. Rarely is it less, but they also hooked us all up with fiber when they ran the fiber thru the center of the city. Price is also largely because they are literally the only internet provider unless you go with satellite -- which I was considering but with the weather here...probably not ideal.
Im considering 5g home Internet because it's cheaper than cable, 50 vs 80
I pay 95 for 400/12 and 1.2 TB. Count your blessings.
