That's a good point as well. I can buy 95th percentile bandwidth for half of what I'm paying now.....but in my case I'd still pay more.

If I was billed at 95th percentile I'd have to pay for 40mbps....so at 100 per meg (to use round numbers) that would be 4K.

On average I paid for 10.6mbps, so at 200 a meg (again round numbers) that's $2120. Almost half of what I'd pay at 95th percentile.

My advice to anyone would be to pay on average or per gig, because very rarely will 95th percentile actually save you money.
