basic line: you are responsible for your traffic and this shitty 95% percentile must be something hosts invented to get rich cause it does not reflect the actual amount of data transferred.
and you should be paying something between $10 and $15 per mbit - significantly less than $10 usually requires a commitment like 50 or 100 mbit per month

What you are paying for is capacity, not the transfer amount. In order to have fast speeds, you need constantly availability unlimited capacity, thats what 95th percentile is billing for.
The amount of transfer you can do per amount of capacity (1Mbps) varies by each customer/server/website so is not a good way to plan network usage on the whole. You plan by the available capacity which is needed, and you bill that way too.
