More a soft cap. Tesco mobile PAYG had a had a hard cap of 250MB per day and you had to wait until midnight if you had used up your 250MB per dsy
With Virgin sim only/contract smartphone it depends on how you use the sim card really whether or not you notice any deterioration in performance after the first 3.5GB of use. It might be a struggle to listen to TuneIn beyond 3.5GB use without suffering from constant buffering.
