Nothing is wrong with cheap hosts, and if you factor in people that push a lot of bandwidth, even a dollar per mbit cheaper is a huge difference.

Say you are pushing 5gbits at $5/gbit. Your hosting bill is $25.000. If someone offers you $4/mbit you just put $5k back into your pocket every month. That's more then enough to pay a mortgage or finance and very nice car.
