Am I misunderstanding American internet service completely, or is this as obscene as it sounds? I pay 40€ a month for a gigabit connection to my flat in 18th-1

  No. Your connection is not a business broadband connection. You pay that much to get guaranteed throughout and bandwidth at the max whenever. Guaranteed with an SLA. Your residential broadband is contented, you share a pipe with multiple households. Like with GPON passive optical, your connection to the exchange point may be shared with 32 homes and is a 2.5 Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps link.

  You don't have a gigabit connection, your building does. You split the cost and bandwidth with all other residents.
