It takes time for the STM limit to kick-in, check half an hour after you finish downloading.

It only checks what you've used every 15 minutes, so at 60mb/s you can download 4.5GB in 10 minutes, then you have to wait for the next checkpoint for it to realise, then the limitter usually kicks in at the 15 minute after that.

So it's possible to do way more than the limits but you will be punished more severely if you do. Just like motorway police chasing you. Eventually they will catch you.
