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.

Out of curiosity, do you have a screen shot of your MRTG?
Ive never seen one that spikes to 40 a few times a month come anywhere near being charged on 40 mbps. Unless your spiking higher?
