Wow, maybe I need to get caught up to all of the new fangled ways to make money through creative billing. The way you are describing would mean that the host is charging you for 320GB for every 1mbps you push and we know that in reality (unless you are doing some kind of special application) you are only going to push about 220G for every 1mbps...so that means they are overcharging their customers by 100GB for every 1mbps....so THAT is how they have been selling under cost!
I actually talked to a new NationalNet customer the other day who showed me how his hosting company was billing him like weeks before his month started....it was like he got a bill sometime in May for JUNE's service. I just laughed.
Maybe I need to get more creative...I feel like I am missing out ;)
