It’s actually quite a hard problem to limit a fast physical connection to a slower speed for a burst - so much so that some tests are much easier with an old 10/100 hub.

What’s nice is when you pay for a certain speed and they give you more if nobody’s using the excess. That’s more rare now but still can be encountered, especially on upload.
