I have to go with lenny2 again here... that webair explanation is exactly the one used by hosts that cahrge 95th - there is a reason for that.

rarely do customers have a nice flat traffic attern to make 95th feasible.

Here's a few mrtg graphs:

client 2:

client 3:

None of these clients would benefit from 95th... (ps - the cliets are japanese, thus the spikes at the early hours of the day)

once again i am not defendiing any of these billing options as we offer our clients the choice to be capped, burstable or per gig...furthermore, whoever your hosting with should offer you the same options, in my opinion of course
