The chances of 10 users "overlapping" their allowance downloads on a 600Gb capped 10Mb service would be quite slim - whilst on the 2Mb service, users are much more likely to overlap and thus eat into more bandwidth.

Just my 2 penneth worth!
10 2Mbit users downloading at the same time won't saturate a local area, 4 10Mbit users will.
