Peaks and valleys only matter in 95th percentile billing (which I think is a huge scam to start with). One of my servers years ago was on 95th percentile billing and I could never figure out why my bandwidth use more than tripled after switching to that host. Turns out I wasn't using more, they were just measuring it "differently". Lesson learned, doing paid gallery spots with a 95th percentile billing system doesn't work so good ;)
On average billing it should work out to exactly 320 gigs shouldn't it? Paying for what you use makes sense to me, I don't see what the point of 95th percentile billing is other than for hosts to rip off clients with bandwidth spikes.
