I had long talks with Actcom people on this matter actually, and the
answer I received is that:
1. Line is not capped in any way on their side.
2. They put this clause as a pre-causion for future possibilities, and
right now "your mileage may wary". I get high download rates from some
(rare) sites (1.5 mbps and higher), and poor from others.

On the contrary. Upload speed is limited by Bezeq, and you can raise
it (if you switch to WOW Extra or Extreme), and right now it's 96K for
regular WOW if I remember correclty. I upload big files on regular
basis, and 96K is about the speed. Actcom people told me that their
upload is very underutilized, so I shouldn't worry about it being
saturated.

Actom position is this, as far as I understand: their license
prohibits their customers from running commercial services on ADSL
lines. They do not block any ports, but if I ran web server, etc.,
they don't want to hear about it and they won't give any support for
it. Of course, no one in their mind would run anything bigger than "my
pet's photos" website on ADSL line anyway.
