I noticed all broadband deals come with how fast the internet is and all mobile data deals come with how much internet can be used up. I am aware that the amount of broadband data for a household can be huge and 3G/4G speed can be less than perfect, but that does not mean those cannot be modified to specific consumers by the providers to my understanding.
So, what is the catch?

The catch is that the broadband providers can promise their speeds but typically hide data caps behind those promises. Mobile data providers can promise their amount but are embarrassed by their speeds… Well more/less its practical speed.
See the LTE chip in your phone and the cell tower could be as fast as they want to be. But your cell provider needs to throttle down your actual bandwidth to make room for everyone else using LTE, therefore you get about 30Mbps as opposed to the theoretical 750Mbps (correct me if I’m wrong) that LTE can carry.
