What are you talking about? The United States has *tons* of speedcapped plans! A couple years ago I did some research for [a then-homeless American friend who was reliant on mobile data as their primary Internet connection] and determined the three best companies for their needs were Simple Mobile, Twigby, and TextNow, but there are others and the optimal answers may have changed since then.
(I just looked at them again and Twigby's plans start at $20, which translates to about €16, *and* it comes with unlimited talk and text! They'll try to sell you on their flex plans where you stay on fast data and at the end of the month they charge you for whichever quantity tier you ended up using that month, but you can just say no and they'll leave you on the lowest price tier and give you free slow data instead.)
The United States has *lovely* data availability. No, the thing that's *actually* bullshit about your mobile-phone system is the rampant use of carrier locks. (Canada outlawed carrier-locking several years ago.)
