Cause radio has limited capacity and if un-capped traffic would grind to a halt

Sorry: I meant what is the data capped?

The answer above is correct, each cell tower only has a certain amount of capacity so there will be speed limits and data caps.

If you need more data, see if there is a Wireless-ISP in your area or consider Starlink

While the physical aspects of the radio network are absolutely true, this can’t be the actual reason. How then can, say, Vodafone’s One plan be offered while you’re on RCG towers?

Starlink are going to start a 1TB data cap in December... 

From an email I received, I've seen some comments that this may just be North America for now but my starlink address is in NZ so assuming if they sent it to me it's happening in NZ as well 

 

To ensure our customer base is not negatively impacted by a small number of users consuming unusually high amounts of data, the Starlink team is implementing a Fair Use policy in December 2022.

 

Under the Fair Use policy, all Business customers will receive unlimited data, and will start each month with Priority Access, which means their data usage will be prioritized during times of network congestion.

 

Customers who exceed 1 TB of data use on a monthly basis (currently < 10% of users) will automatically be switched to Basic Access for the remainder of the billing cycle, and will be bitrate limited to 1 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload.

 

Data used between 11pm - 7am will not count towards your Priority Access.
