I've been capped like 3 times before. I think if I am again they'll
terminate me or something. They wont say how long it takes before they
do it. Is it like 5 minutes, an hour? Or does it go by speed?

No one knows except them and they don't specify the threshold at which
you go past the acceptable use policy. Unless you're still one of the
few running a file-sharing platform like BitTorrent, I'm not sure how
you could be coming upon those issues. They only care if you're doing
a large amount of uploading, as a rule.

As far as your last question, it's the total bandwidth you use, not
your speed, which you can't control anyway.
