I happen to be a telco/ISP.  We offer our customers a variety of services,
some symmetrical some not.  All I can say for your situation is to go back
and read your contract.  It should be spelled out in the terms of service
exactly how the bandwidth is to be measured and policed.  

I would not call your telco typical.  It is probably more typical that for a
100Mbps "full duplex (symmetrical)" Ethernet circuit that the up and down
throughputs would be metered separately.  It is very possible that your
telco does this differently.

I will say that because of hardware constrictions if one direction or the
other is maxed out that has a huge effect on the efficiency of the other
direction.  In other words if you actually push 100Mbps in the down
direction it will make the up direction seem as though it has much less than
100Mbps available.  Typically this effect seems to start appearing at about
80% average capacity as instantaneous spikes start exceeding the cap.

The short answer is to read your service agreement and hold your telco to
the terms specified in the document you both signed.

Good Luck!
