I think what they're trying to get at is how do you calculate the gigs transferred on the packages that are offering 2000 gigs or something similar.
Is it raw data transfer per the server logs? Or do you use 95th percentile from the MRTG and then take the mbps and multiply by 320 or something like that?
For instance, I could burn 25mbps for 48 hours straight, and then not use any bandwidth for the rest of the month.
If you're billing me in mbps at 95th percentile, then I'm paying for 25mbps, but if you're billing me in raw gigs transferred, I only transferred 503.
That's why it's important to know how those "gigs" are calculated, because most hosts who say they're billing in "gigs" just take the mbps and multiply it by 320.
