It's kind of the same in the US. Our "unlimited" data plans have secret limits. You don't pay extra once you hit it, but the carriers will slow you down to unusable speeds. And also for tethering, there's usually a hard limit where they will charge you more once you exceed your plan's tethering limit.
That’s interesting! Also why they call it “unlimited” when there’s clearly a limit…
Traditionally the "limit" was a point in which they'd either shut off your data for the month, or charge you an overage fee. Nowadays there's no fee and they won't shut off your data. You might be limited to 600 kbps but you can continue to use the web.
With my Verizon plan, I think my limit is 22GB before they start throttling.
