You are correct that R49 has no penalty associated with it. That might be a good QA question- I would assume that the answer is that they will not be allowed to play if it is repeated or causing problems for other teams.
Generally if I see a team using > 7 Mb/s, I let them know they need to fix it, and it stops being a problem. If it happens a second time, I'll send a CSA after them, and that is the end of it.
