That is called overselling. They pile several hundred customers on to 1 server and offer huge amounts of bandwidth because it makes the customer think "wow, I'm getting more!" when in reality 95% of their target market will never use even over 20 gigs a month. Offering 200 gigs for dollars a month would amount to just a few cents per gig, whereas my best bandwidth plan works out to about 15 cents a gig.
