On the 95th vs Average billing.....I'm a big fan of average billing.

If you have fairly consistent traffic and bandwidth usage then you can probably make out ok on 95th percentile.

I do TGP galleries, so my bandwidth fluctuates alot. Get a movie gallery listed on the hun and worldsex and I've burst as high as 70mbps.
Do that a few times a month and you end up paying for 70mbps for the whole month if you're billed on the 95th percentile. (Even though I only average 6-10mbps every other day of the month)

When you're billed on average you pay for exactly what you use, no more, no less....that's about as fair as it gets IMO.
