A few years ago (before streaming really) it was quite common to have a data limit on your home internet too. Unlimited data is only a recent development, I think due to the fact that the ability to stream high amounts of video is a basic expectation now. A lot of providers probably still have a fair usage clause hidden in the small print too.
