This is the case in a lot of countries. In Australia, some ISPs got fined a lot of money (something like $300,000 I think?) because they advertised mobile phone plans as “unlimited” when in reality they slowed down the speed once you hit a limit.
Dunno if 300k is necessarily a lot for an ISP, but having rules and fining firms for non-compliance is pretty nice.

The maximum ISPs could be fined for misleading/deceptive conduct (including things like this) was $1.1 million at the time, and I don’t think they considered this bad enough to hand out the maximum fine. They bumped the maximum to $10 million at some point afterwards though.
