It would be hard to nail down. THAT... will vary by carrier and their bandwidth contracts.

If he is looking for dedicated pipes (1 to 1 ratio) I would recommend he go to one of the bigger providers serving the NL as they would already have some nice bandwidth available via their commitments.

Many (not all) web hosting companies operate on the shared/VLAN principle. As it's rare that most customers need the 1 to 1 (1 server with 100MBit) ratio and a dedicated pipe when it comes to bandwidth. Most customers want the ability to SPIKE up to a certain level of bandwidth and it not effect performance. They are not chugging along all day at 100MBit.
