When I first got broadband Internet we had a maximum allowed (I don't remember how much, but I think I still my listings from that time with how much I had used for month) and the market was limited to mostly two providers.
When more people got Internet access and more providers appeared the limits were removed, now only mobile phones' data has limits, usually 10 GB or so per month.
Edited to add that the limit on my provider ended on March 2007m and the limits were different for national and international access. Looking at my listings I see that my international data transfers were always below 1 GB, so I suppose that was the limit.
