They offer unlimited data plans for internet. And it isn't archaic (unless you live outside a city).

Not on any major providers, at least in Ontario. Bell, Rogers, Cogeco are all definitely metered and limited (for all reasonable price ranges at least, $90+ for unlimited bandwidth is not reasonable compared to prices in other countries).

But in most of the services areas where you can get Bell or Rogers, you can get one of the 3rd party providers like Start or Teksavvy. These providers have an unmetered upstream cap and very generous downstream caps.

A download cap of 300Gb on a 150Mpbs link is hardly generous, which is what Teksavvy offers in Ontario.

It's a joke. And the only reason is to make you pay for the more expensive connection. Maybe also to hand you additional charges.

+1 Bandwidth for video is not a problem in the city.

Plus this seems like the sort of technology that may even make less bandwidth congestion. It might even speed up your archaic internet connection.
