If you were paying 95th it would matter.
But per gb is essentially average sustained pricing. So who really cares what the peaks are... unless someone was trying to sell him 2 x 100mbps handoffs...?

You're missing my point... let me explain. What I'm saying that everyone needs to consider is this: the cost of doing business on the HOSTS side isn't per gig, the host is either paying for committed, 95th or (highly unlikely) on average. So, one simply can't say well you can get 200 megabit from Hurricane electric for $5000 (for example). The reality is, the host would need to be buying 300 or more megabit to sell this guy 60TB (or approximately 200mbit on average).
That's it, just pointing out that the cost side of fulfillment isn't as low as it might seem to the untrained eye. That's why buyer needs to beware when shopping for low pricing.
Cheers,
Brad
