I assume its "unmetered" however if you were to push a full 100mbps consitant then you would get dropped.
No provider, no matter what your commit is can charge $2/mbps per month and not loose money.
Im guessing the server is in a rack with 20 other servers and the entire rack has 100mbps of usable bandwidth flowing to all 20 servers. Many hosting companies sell those 20 servers as "unmetered" meaning as long as no one else is using the bandwidth its yours to use. However if all 20 servers are attempting to use the 100mbps, problems occur....
The whole "unmetered" deal works in mainstream hosting because most people who run dedicated servers are running tiny websites that use up about 2mbps at the max. And it appeals to mainstream hosting clients because if they need to burst to 5mbps for free they can. However in the adult world there is no way this can work because normal adult servers serving videos can run at 100mbps individually at no problem.
I use to run UnlimBand.com back in 1999-2002 that was spotlighting the "unlimited" and "unmetered" bandwidth host marketing. Its pretty much false advertising... Do a search on WHT for username: jimb and you will see.
Your better off being upfront and honest with your clients and telling them that you can push Xmbps guaranteed so there are no issues with clients not understanding why they are getting charged on an "unmetered" plan. If they go over one month and you do not charge them its just extra bonus points for you as a hosting company. It will make your clients, especially your adult webmasters very loyal to you.
If you are really correct about this deal and for some reason can get 100mbps at $229.95/mo I know some guys (and possibly myself) that will take 3000mbps (3gbps) for $6870/mo...and use all 3gbps...Assuming the network is solid, support is there, etc.
