Actually connections above 10Mbit by this ISP (30,40, 50Mbit) have traffic
allowances, by which you get 300, 400 and 500 gigabytes of data transfer
respectivelly per month, after which your FTTH link speed is reduced to
that of the 10Mbit plan.

This is said to prevent abuse and offer an incentive to get business-grade
connections, unmetered, of course at a much higher price.

Another local ISP which offers metro ethernet gives out 20Mbit symmetric
links for about the same price this one gives asks for 30Mbit metered.
