I am with Three. I subscribed to their "all you can eat" data plan back in 2016
for around 20-25 dollars which had an SMS and call limit but no data limit. I
went with them becuase they promised not to choke my bandwidth if I went above
a certain artifical limit. I can often exceed 25gb of data usage per month and
I have never noticed a decline in quality.

Something like an SMS limit wouldn't really affect people in the UK anyway
becase we don't really use that method of communication -- there are unlimited
SMS data plans but they are known as "bolt-ons" which can be added to an
exisiting contract for a small fee. I presume it's the same in the USA where
carriers can allow you to customise your own contracts... my one is the most
basic because it's just unlimited data and I haven't asked for anything else.
