How can australian isp's offer that, and us be stuck at these speeds?

(Okay, so they say they slow down if it's over 10gig a month, but still...)
The small print:
Things you should know
  1. Speeds are presented in a downstream/upstream format. eg uncapped/128 means best available speed for downloads and up to 128 kbps for uploads. These speeds are the theoretical maximum speed achievable on a plan at any given time and are not guaranteed (i.e. customers may not achieve speeds of up to 128kbps). Speeds may vary from time to time depending on plan selected, Internet traffic, site server capacity and other factors.
  2. Minimum package cost on a 12 month Unlimited* Cable plan is $978.40 (includes installation). Early termination fees may apply.
  3. Monthly Usage means your total data transfers (metered downloads and uploads) for each calendar month. 1 Gigabyte (GB) is 1,000 Megabytes (MB). Unused Monthly Usage forfeited.
  4. Our additional user charges are $1.00 per user per month.
  5. You may qualify for a Reward Options package. To find out more visit our Reward Options site.
That's what, 450 quid or so? I'd want way more than 10 Gigs for that - and how fast is 'best available'? Looks crap to me
