Best Unlimited Wireless Internet Service Providers in US, UK, Canada and Australia

Finding the right unlimited wireless internet plan is crucial in today’s data-driven world. Whether you’re streaming 4K video, gaming online, or working remotely, unlimited data plans give peace of mind by removing usage caps and overage fees. In all four countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia), the leading carriers now offer truly unlimited plans with broad 4G/5G coverage and extra perks. Below we explore the top providers in each region, highlighting their network reach, pricing, plan features, and customer considerations.

United States

In the US, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T (and their MVNOs) dominate unlimited plans. T-Mobile currently leads in nationwide 5G coverage and speed. Its premium plan (Magenta/Experience More at about $85/mo) includes unlimited 5G data, 50GB hotspot, and entertainment perks like Netflix or Apple TV. T-Mobile’s network reaches over 330 million people and won multiple network-experience awards.

Verizon offers the widest overall coverage and reliability. Its unlimited plans start at $65 (Unlimited Welcome) and $80 (Unlimited Plus) for 4G/5G data, with tiered mobile hotspot data (30GB on Plus). Verizon’s network consistently earns top marks from RootMetrics and Opensignal for coverage and 5G performance. These plans are pricier, but families can mix-and-match lines for discounts.

AT&T now offers a very affordable unlimited option: the AT&T Value Plus plan costs about $50.99/month for true unlimited 5G data. It includes roaming in Canada and Mexico with no extra charge. Like Verizon, AT&T throttles heavy users in congested areas, but its network covers ~99% of Americans with strong LTE/5G. AT&T also has family-oriented plans (Unlimited Extra) that drop per-line cost with more lines.

In addition to the Big Three, low-cost carriers shine in the US. Visible (Verizon’s prepaid brand) offers a no-contract unlimited plan for about $29/month (with promo) on Verizon’s network. It includes truly unlimited premium data and even an unlimited mobile hotspot (speed-capped at 10 Mbps). US Mobile (an MVNO) has an “Unlimited Premium” plan at $39/month, giving access to AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon networks plus 20 GB of international roaming. These providers lack some big-brand perks but deliver high-speed data at a lower cost.

Beyond phones, fixed wireless internet options are growing. T-Mobile and Verizon now offer home internet via 5G/LTE: for example, T-Mobile Home Internet is unlimited and starts around $50/mo (with autopay discounts). Satellite Internet like Starlink (SpaceX) is also available nationwide, offering unlimited data for about $110/mo, though speeds vary. These alternatives can be ideal where cable/fiber broadband is limited, giving 5G or satellite-based unlimited service.

United Kingdom

In the UK, the big players are EE, Vodafone (including Three after merger), O2, and their MVNOs. EE consistently earns top marks for network quality and coverage. RootMetrics reports EE has been the UK’s best network for over a decade, delivering the fastest 5G speeds and strongest overall coverage. EE’s unlimited plans (e.g. EE Full Works) include unlimited data plus entertainment extras (Apple Music, BT Sport, etc.) and robust 4G/5G reach (about 99% of the population).

Vodafone offers truly unlimited 5G plans. Its flagship Unlimited Max plan (from ~£36/month) provides full 5G speeds, while its standard Unlimited plan (from ~£27) caps speeds to 10 Mbps after a data threshold. Vodafone’s network covers ~97% of the UK and includes EU roaming. Vodafone also lets you add streaming subscriptions (YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime) as plan extras. After merging with Three, Vodafone/Three combined will offer an even larger network.

Three (now part of “VodafoneThree”) is known for value. Three’s unlimited plans (like Go Unlimited Max) include perks such as Netflix/Apple TV or data-free streaming of video apps, often at a lower price than rivals. Three users get excellent 5G availability in cities; recent tests showed Three matching EE for 5G experience. O2 (now VodafoneO2 by branding) offers stable coverage (around 99% with MVNO Tesco’s network) and features like Priority Ticket access. O2’s “Unlimited Xtra” plan (~£35) includes 40 GB hotspot.

Recent network studies underline UK performance: EE posted the highest median 5G download speeds (~89.9 Mbps). Three and Vodafone also saw median 5G speeds over 200 Mbps in urban tests, while O2’s was ~82 Mbps. In coverage, EE is again #1 for reliability. Ultimately, choice depends on your local signal and needed perks: EE’s unlimited plans are pricier but offer the fastest 5G, while Three and MVNOs often give cheaper unlimited data with entertainment bundles.

Canada

Canada’s Big Three carriers—Rogers, Bell, Telus—and their brands (e.g. Fido, Virgin) dominate the unlimited market. All three offer “infinite” or “unlimited” plans that provide large high-speed data allowances and then throttle speeds (typically after ~15–75 GB). There are no true un-throttled plans except some small MVNOs, but these throttles still allow basic data use (streaming at reduced quality, etc.) with no overage fees.

According to a 2025 study, Rogers has the most reliable network; it won awards for reliability and upload speed. Rogers’ unlimited plans (e.g. Rogers Infinite) cost around $75–$90 per month, include unlimited Canada-wide data with about 50–100 GB of peak data (then slowed). Bell provides the fastest 5G speeds in tests, and Bell’s Unlimited Share plans similarly throttle after a tier. Telus leads in 5G availability (users see 5G the most) and ties with Bell for overall coverage. In fact, Bell/Telus cover ~99% of Canadians, compared to ~97% for Rogers.

For families, Telus’ “Unlimited Canada-US” family plans are notable: you can pool data (hundreds of GB) across lines, including unlimited US data usage. Similarly, Rogers and Bell offer add-ons for US and international talk/text. Smaller carriers like Fido (Rogers MVNO) or Virgin Plus (Bell MVNO) resell their networks at lower prices, though often with less priority in congestion.

Overall, Rogers’ network was shown to be the most consistent/reliable for Canadian users, while Bell led in raw 5G speed and Telus offered the most 5G availability. Canadian carriers also often bundle promotions (e.g. discounts for prepaid yearly payment or including premium streaming services) and give loyalty discounts to long-term customers. When choosing, consider region (Bell/Telus better in rural areas, Rogers best in many cities) and added perks (family sharing, international calling) beyond just “unlimited” data caps.

Australia

Australia’s leading telcos Telstra, Optus, Vodafone (and smaller ones) now sell unlimited plans – though with practical caveats. Telstra and Optus postpaid SIM plans offer unlimited “included” data but throttle speeds to 1.5 Mbps once you exceed the high-speed quota. Vodafone’s unlimited plans throttle to 2 Mbps. Only one provider — Felix Mobile — offers a truly unlimited plan (no throttling, capped at 20 Mbps) for about AU$40/month. Otherwise, “unlimited” means lots of data at full speed (e.g. 100–300 GB), then throttled speeds but no overage fees.

Telstra has Australia’s largest network and best coverage, but is most expensive. Its “Essential” plan (e.g. 180 GB) costs ~$80/month; beyond that, speeds drop to 1.5 Mbps. Optus covers about 98.4% of people after network-sharing and offers unlimited plans (throttling to 1.5 Mbps) with various data tiers (e.g. a 360 GB plan at AU$79/mo). Vodafone’s network is slightly smaller, and its “unlimited” SIM plans (starting at 100 GB data) throttle to 2 Mbps once their allowances are used. MVNOs like Belong (Telstra’s brand) and Dodo offer cheaper unlimited-like plans, but throttle even more (Belong to 1 Mbps, Dodo to 0.256 Mbps).

In practice, all plans labeled “unlimited” in Australia are significantly throttled after heavy use. TechRadar notes: Telstra/Optus throttle to 1.5 Mbps, Vodafone to 2 Mbps, and Belong (Telstra’s MVNO) to 1 Mbps. These speeds still permit basic browsing and music streaming, but not high-quality video. For most Aussie consumers, Telstra’s network offers the best reach (especially in rural areas). Optus and Vodafone have improved coverage via sharing deals. In summary, Telstra gives the widest 5G access (at higher cost), Optus delivers a solid compromise, and Vodafone can be cheaper with decent perks. Felix is a niche choice if you just want uncapped data at a low flat speed.

Conclusion

In summary, all four regions now have multiple truly unlimited wireless internet providers, but “unlimited” means different things depending on the carrier. US providers like T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T use network competition and promotions to offer fast, truly unlimited 5G plans with wide coverage and perks (e.g. streaming services). UK carriers EE, Vodafone/Three, O2 each provide unlimited data with additional benefits (entertainment or roaming), and EE’s network quality leads the pack. In Canada, Rogers/Bell/Telus all offer unlimited plan tiers, but they throttle after a high threshold (to enforce a “fair use” cap); Rogers is most reliable while Bell/Telus excel in speed and coverage respectively. Australia’s carriers emphasize large data pools then throttling – Telstra and Optus leverage 5G for fast speeds (capped at ~1.5 Mbps after allowances), with Felix as a rare flat-speed option.

Ultimately, readers should match a provider’s network strength in their area with the best value plan. Beyond headline unlimited data, consider network reliability, 5G availability, hotspot allowances, family discounts, and extras like entertainment or roaming. Each country has its champion: T-Mobile (US), EE (UK), Rogers (Canada), and Telstra (Australia) excel in network performance, but alternative providers (Visible, Three/O2, Telus MVNOs, Optus/Vodafone) can save money or offer unique perks. By comparing coverage maps, reading customer reviews, and watching for promotional deals, consumers in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia can find the unlimited wireless internet plan that keeps them connected without data worries.
