Even if there were only one package of internet available globally there would still be tiered internet, you can pay for that one package, or you can not pay for it.

The only way we'd have universal untiered internet is if there was some sort of government fee / tax that you just had to pay to get internet and that was your only option.

Everyone has vastly different (tiered) internet experiences, for example the internet on my phone is faster than the internet on my desktop when uploading.

On my phone I pay for additional data use on my desktop I don't.
