Londoner here. On daily basis I don't _feel_ restricted on broadband, besides some thepiratebay and some other good old thorns in copyright industrial complex... But I know GCHQ is watching. So nextdns.io is my trusty friend, VPN is no problemo.

On phone I have EE MVNO and without VPN I get blocked pr0n, but not much else. Yes they wanted proof of ID despite having my Direct Debit details.

Personal note: But if you were to migrate to UK, probably not a good time this decade, the cost of living is hitting here hard, post-Brexit shambles are annoying and the compensation is not worth it anymore IMHO. Just the music scene is unbeatable, hence staying.

But we also know that they're watching everyone else (i.e. not in the UK) as well.
