It's going to differ around the world but in Australia for business connections I'm used to paying a separate fee for the physical connection (which will have a maximum throughput) and a separate fee for the bandwidth allocation and a third for the monthly data cap.

Australia is a bit of an outlier, mainly due to Telstra and the Gang of Four. I believe the polite expression for their actions is "maximizing shareholder value".
