And in a perfect world it wouldn't be capped.
Alas it is an imperfect universe and the way ISP's can afford to supply packages at the current prices is by sharing bandwidth.

If you want to research the costs of a dedicated 1:1 leased line compared to a residential service feel free.

2MB uncontended at a bargain £5500 a year. Slightly more than the £299.88 that a 2MB Ntl:Home connection costs for a year.
