    That 10Gb link is almost certainly oversubscribed, though. You don’t actually have 10 Gb of dedicated constant bandwidth, you just have access to 10Gb of potential bandwidth. You’re unlikely to saturate that link very often, so you won’t notice, but it’s shared with other people.

    It’s different from Google or any other company paying for bandwidth that’s being actually used, not just a pre-allocated link like your home internet.
