I'm going to add this to what Brad said. So this post + Brads post should cover most of the topic.

There are many factors to consider, here are some:

1) What method is used to calculate the amount of bandwidth used (yes, there are at least 5 of them and they give different results)

2) Does the host bill for bandwidth usage both ways or only one way

3) What carriers are used and how much

4) How much redundany is in place (yes, having a server connected to two switches and each switch connected to a different border router does cost money)

5) What other services are offered? (backups , 24/7 monitoring, software installation, script installation and debugging/editing, custom configurations, tips and tricks to make things run faster and better ...)

6) How stable the company is


With a good setup you are looking at around 20 cents/gb.
A great setup would be around 26 cents/gb.
An excellent setup would be $0.32GB+

quiet, you know where to find me if you'd like some info about what kind of configurations would work best for you.
