It means your ISP may allow you to send the first 10 MB (an example, the actual value is set by your ISP) of a file a lot faster than the declared 4 Mbps if your link has been idle (or almost idle) for a while. After these 10 MB the link gets "saturated" and the 4 Mbps limit applies for remaining data. Make your link almost idle for another while and you will be able to burst again.
