yes really.
i have free (the ISP).
youtube barely streams 240p (with hiccups) sometimes it doesnt even display the page.
same for downloading on google play. you rarely even get push notifications.
some other sites are slow as well albeit its not as bad as google sites, such as facebook and apple (incl. app store, software updates etc.)
Its been gradually worse and worse over the years, and now im switching away from that ISP in a month. its unbearable.

Does this include Googles CDN servers? Fonts, JS files, etc.?
yes, anything that goes through their peering which is what they throttle. and the cdn servers go through the peering for some reason.
