Think about it a normal admin can get a 2.4 Ghz P4 + 512MB RAM upto 40mbps

You guys aren't even on cogent bandwidth that means your paying at the MINIMUM $30/mbit

So that's 40 x 30 = $1200

Sure not everyone will push this capacity but there is a catch. I dont think your business runs because so few ppl under utilize their allocation, its because its not really unlimited. What's the restriction?
Their normal ServerMatrix servers and their total control servers charge $0.50 / GB over and $0.75 /GB over respectively. In April I was caught with a $150 bill just in overages on my ServerMatrix server, prompting me to order a total control server.

The TC servers use SCSI drives and 100mbit interface .. and I'm pretty sure there's a big enough demand for that.. especially consdiering the performance increase I notice on my TC box compared to my ServerMatrix.

So add in overages on TC and regular server matrix servers .. and the fact that most people won't use *that* much on an unmetered server and that probably helps clear up their business plan.
