There is nothing quite like 5 Mbits including hosting for under $8/month eh?

OK.. Simplified version - 1 MBit = 320 Gigs of BW, so... your 1600 Gigs is going to equate to roughly 5 MBits. Amazing Dreamhost are not giving hassle, but who knows, it may reflect the numbers of accounts who don't use any bandwidth.

Now... Webair are threatening to offer you a dedicated server for $200/month with your BW - but changes are it would need to be more to handle traffic peaks - so $8/month and a willingness to take the rough with the smooth sounds not so bad
