The only bummer is the "law of diminishing returns". In theory, you're right on... the bummer is that the more bandwidth someone purchases, the better the price they get. So where margins might be high on a 1 megabit server for $150-$300/month, they're exceptionally low on a large sale of bandwidth because per megabit you're discounting to right above cost to be competitive but also attempting to make money on the sheer volume of bandwidth being sold. With a purchase of 200 megabit on average or 300-400 megabit on 95th, a host is going to have to sell for a fraction of the rates they're accustomed to getting for purchases below 50 megabit.
