Actually I'm fairly sure that Charter, due to an agreement with the FCC that expires in the early 2020s, is the only major provider in the US without at least a soft cap. Comcast in particular is infamous for their low caps.

Verizon does not have an official limit on Fios. There is a story about them warning someone a few years ago who was using 7TB / month (which really is a massive amount of data). I can't really think of legal consumer usage that would get up that high. A redditor posted about keeping up 20TB/month usage without getting a warning a year ago.

I wonder if Comcast does soft caps in certain states for legal or business reasons.

I have Comcast in NJ and there’s no cap as far as I can tell. I have been above 2 TB almost every month for a while.
