How much bandwidth would you say should I have included in my hosting deal, at the very least? Of course I'd especially like to hear comments from ppl who launched something similar recently.

I also saw the offer from Elevated X and MojoHost, CMS with dedicated server with 25 Mbps included. Actually I think that is FAR too low for a paysite with big downloadable movie files - not to talk about hosted galleries. I mean the content server for my free tubes where I only host the screenshots and a tiny bit of the tube movies already needs more than 30 Mbps.

So, I'd really like to hear your opinions.
