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.  |
Do people really do that? Wow! I guess I am just not diabolical enough to even think of something that like.....like everything we do, we do it the right way.....we just total the raw gigs done on the port....if you push 500 Gigs for 3 straight days and nothing the rest of the month you are only going to be billed for 1500 Gigs....no fuzzy math here.
We make money giving a good service for a fair price. I cant think of any other way I would want to do it.
