All broadband providers offer speed as the selling point under the guise of unlimited bandwidth transfer You need to look at the most popular ISP's fair usage policies to check the exact terms on data transfer or bandwidth usage;

- Be Broadband fair usage policy offers unlimited data transfer with this exception. https://www.bethere.co.uk/fairusage.do />
If it’s felt that any Be member’s Internet activities are so excessive that other members are detrimentally affected, Be may give the member generating the excessive web traffic a written warning (by email or otherwise). In extreme circumstances, should the levels of activity not immediately decrease after the warning, Be may terminate that member’s services.

- Virgin Media

Virgin Media has multiple packages which do have restrictions exempt from the XXL package which has no limits applicable to it.

" Virgin Media use a traffic management system to limit the speed of your connection at peak times, we believe in making sure all our customers can use our Broadband without being slowed down by heavy users. So our traffic management policy is there to keep things fair.

Our traffic management policy protects the vast majority of our customers (over 95% of them) from these heavy users, ultimately providing faster, more consistent speeds for everyone."

Simply compare each broadband providers fair usage policy to find the most suitable and accommodating provider those are my recommendations above.
