That is right. But you will probably not be using that 3000 gb because of the peaks and valley in your traffic. A reasonable expectaton would be 2200-2500 gb/month.
If your traffic uses at some time more then the 10 mbps connection, those surfers will receive slow responses( queue) or get denied access to your server

So if there are 2 user currently sharing the unmetered 10mpbs and if each is using 1200GB/month than I can only have 800GB per month of bandwidth max?
No, unmetered dedicated 10 mbps is yours only. Nobody else uses your connection.
