Trust me, we setup a capped 10 megabit server, peaked it for half the month at 10 megabits for 20 % of each day, and then did only 1-2 megabit on it for the rest of the month. And the 95% bullshit said 9.8 megabit using 95% percentile.
If I was on a 100 megabit burstable plan and doing 10 days of say 50 megabits and then the rest of the month at 0 my bandwidth bill would be for 50 megabits or very very close too, like 48 megabits.
If I'm on average bandwidth then I pay A LOT less, I do 50 megabit for half the month and 0 for the rest of the month, it averages out to 25 megabits.
95%tile is only for the hosting companies to RAM IT UP YOUR ASS and overcharge you. Don't ever use it unless you know your not going to peak or you know what your doing
