It depends on your ISP. My phone has a data cap of 100 GB/month. Once I go over that I am throttled when the network is congested.

My home internet has no data caps.

I don't know about other ISPs, but Xfinity/Comcast residential internet has a data cap of 1TB/month, regardless of the bandwidth tier you pay for. Although you can pay a (substantial) fee to remove that data cap.

Removing the Xfinity data cap would increase my bill by 60%. It is outrageous.

Comcast Business has no data cap and so might be an option
