When you pay for long distance wifi bandwidth you are the closest to actually paying mainly because the backhaul can support every user on the tower. Cell service is the same: tower limited. That’s why cell service providers generally cap downloads. But the people with cable are generally not paying for the bandwidth. The cell company oversubscribes their shared links. That’s a problem, they are misleading their customers. But that has nothing to do with “neutrality”.

I meant to say the cable companies oversubscribe their shared links.
