Access speed vs Port Speed.

Hi all, apology if this is a dumb question. I don't have any background in network engineering. I am a business analyst who had been handed a big collection of circuit contracts for analysis. I don't understand why there are so many contracts with Access speed significantly higher than the port speed. For example, if you are buying a port at 50MB, why are you paying for a 1Gbps access to go with it? Isn't your overall speed limited by your port speed in this case, so buying a 50MB for both access and port makes more sense?
