My broadband has no quota, my 4g mobile plan has no quota.

My home in London, UK has Plex, and when I'm in the US on business I stream movies to my mobile.

This all costs me nothing more than my standard broadband contract (GBP 30 per month for 150Mbps connection) and my mobile contract (GBP 15 per month for unlimited 4g in lots of countries).

I do rip my DVDs, but I also stream them so I don't have to choose in advance, transfer files, etc.

Which 4G operator/plan you have that does unlimited 4G roaming? I have 3 that sort of has free roaming but their data speed gets crippled if you go over some not very high (100MB or so I guess?) threshold.

Three's free roaming used to be unlimited, but you're right it's now capped – to 12GB in a month though, which does seem pretty reasonable.

I have an older Three contract that they are still honouring, and I haven't yet experienced speed restrictions that were noticeable at all, or been capped.

I have heard that they are phasing these contracts out though, and the new contracts aren't as good. I shall be holding on to this one for as long as possible.

Yes, same here. I typically use between 10 GB and 30 GB a month, and have yet to experience any throttling.
