Fiber usually has no data caps but is not as common as other ISPs. The article talks about companies that offer cable and DSL services which are the most common connection types in the US. Those will often times have data caps.

Fiber is rarely the only service, because just about everywhere that gets fiber also has DOCSIS due to the prevalence of cable TV. So it might be because of competition more than anything.
