Since this thread is of great interest to me (and is a great thread in and of itself...a lot of good input from some very knowledgeable people, esp. k0nr4d), here is my $.02

I feel compelled to point out the inaccuracy [imho] of this [alleged] claim. Brad, I respect both your tenure in the industry, as it is greater than mine, and Mojo's excellent reputation. However, I disagree with this [alleged] statement on the grounds that I believe it is more of an appeal to your favored price point for a sale, than the actual truth. I don't think that needing $4-6 bandwidth is a sign of being in dire straits at all. Different sites monetize at different rates, and some cut it pretty slim. When you're pushing tens of gigabits, and bandwidth cost comprises >%90 of your total operational expense, lowering that bandwidth cost is directly proportional to money-in-pocket.

I agree %100.

You can push 1800-1900 mbits per server, special setup.
Here too. I've personally setup port-channeled servers that pushed 2gbps.

Feel free to ICQ me to see how my offering compares, too.
