it means that your ISP is reserving bandwidth for its own corporate connections.
Lets say that you have 1mbps connection and you only get 30KB/ps
and  other times you download with 100KB/ps
This is mostly why business connections in at this moment require more bandwidth (for example ISDN, Frame relay in burst mode traffic)
and because the network is full they get more priority in traffic.
That's why business connections cost more because they have dedicated bandwidth and home users do not. 

And another example: at you house have a router and to this router you have connected your pc and a family pc. if both interfaces are up that means they share the connections speed.
But you want to have 3/4 of the connection speed reserved for your pc (cos you download torrents all day long)and 1/4 of the speed to your family pc cos your dad only uses it for e-mail.
Let just say you do so and configure your network not to share equally the speed to both pcs, but giving you mostly of the speed to your pc.

That's what ISPs do - just like you did in your network - to reserve b/w for your own and to give more Bandwidth Priority to some while others get what is left from the pie.
