Because that's just smoke and mirrors they're using to sell you that billing model.
Granted a lot of hosts don't have a choice, they're billed on 95th percentile from their carrier so that's how they have to bill you.

How are you not saving money?
Look at my biz as an example. I buy spots on The Hun, when I get a listing there I'll push upwards of 40mbps the whole first day.
I'll do that several times a month.

Last month I "averaged" 10.6 mbps, or about 3400 gigs.
If I was being billed on 95th percentile I'd have had to pay for 40mbps, but since I'm billed on average I paid for 10.6.

Make sense?
