Right now looking at a mrtg graph of one of our many boxes....run of the mill webserver server 100% porn tgp gallerys.

Its spikes go to as much as 12 megs and spikes to 8 -9 most every day while its average is only 5.6 .... while the 95% for the month is 7.8 megs.

Now this is your average server with your average spikes like any adult website.
I would rather pay the 95% myself on this, just like the customer is.

Now put the 250 to 300$ average billing price it comes to $1400 - $1680 compared to 95% of $1170-$1560 .

Who is the dumb dumb here? the guy buying average or 95%

Now again, this is only comparing across a wide array.Like i said "most" hosts who charge 95% only price per meg is a bit cheaper than those who charge per average. So there will BE a difference in this.

This is all im saying

I guess the best thing to do is find someone who will charge you the same average as they would 95% but always do the math.
