My current dedicted is P4-2.4GHz, 1024RAM, 120GB HD, 400GB traffic for $75/mo (going to $100/mo in 2 years). I'd like to know why you're a better deal.

Many hosts to report bw usuage take the mrtg graph off their switch for the certain port (your server)
so say you doing 3 mbps on peak, 1 on average ....
95th percentile of that would be 2.85mbps.
Convert that into gigs (about 900 gigs) .. and your bandwidth (gigs usuage report)is based on that.
So really you are being billed for that or if they are offering you 900 gigs, thats what they are really giving you.
However, we take 50th percentile (average) meaning 1.5mbps and convert that into gigs and bill based on this.
so the 1.5 mbps (480 gigs)
Do you see what I am saying now?
