VE is not limited to 10mbps, only the Lab version is. You can acquire VE licenses for 25Mb/s, 200Mb/s, 1Gb/s, 3G/s, 5Gb/s, and 10Gb/s. One thing to not however, the throughput throttling happens on a per CPU/tmm basis. So, if you have 2 vCPUs you have two tmm instances which means each instance can only allow 1/2 of the licenses bandwidth. If you have 4 vCPUs, each tmm can only allow 1/4 of the licenses bandwidth. I hope this helps.
