Any throttling, full speed, max GB usage?

I didn't really use the phone SIM in the gateway other than for testing purposes, but there was no throttling other than video streaming with HD video enabled (OnePlus plan, throttled to maybe 30 Mbps). Aside from that the SIM pulled full speed. I may have used 100 GB.
Maybe around 1/3 lower. (or more)
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder which is more correct.

Like if you watch youtube and use auto quality, it may drop to 360p, etc(?)
So throttling streaming may reduce data usage(?)
Think of it this way, when you are traveling around with your cellphone, is there some place you have no signal and some place very close by (like few mins walk), you have good signal? If you go to some place that has no (or very poor) signal, in reality, you can't even connect to internet or very slow. If you are at some place that has very good signal, then depend on how crowded the cellphone tower you connect to, it can be <10Mbps (extremely crowded) to >500Mbps (not very crowded).
If you go back and read all the posts in this thread, many people have posted all kind of different speed even if they live in the same city.
As many posts before mentioned, the speed and ping varies by location. Location will play a huge role in stability and consistency of connection. Kind of like a "location lottery".
Not only location matter but time of day (and or day of week) also matter if you live in crowded area. Many people here mentioned certain time of the day, the speed is acceptable. But during the time when most people home using internet or gather at certain location, the speed is so slow or inconsistent that playing YouTube video may stop for few seconds every min or two. Like if you live within mile or two near park, shopping plaza, church, school, etc which may share the same cellphone tower, probably just need some heavy data users going to those places at certain time of the day and you may suddenly have huge drop in speed or even get disconnect.
And that also mean during long holiday like Christmas, Thanksgiving, the usage pattern may be different and have to adjust your own usage if the speed suddenly become very slow. People mentioned weather also affect 5G signal especially if you are a bit further away from the 5G tower. Good weather day during off peak hour, the speed may be decent even if you are a bit further away but during bad weather, the speed may be inconsistent.
