It still doesn't make any difference. If you have a capped 10 meg port, and you run it full for 30 days, then you will have a graph that is a straight line at 10 megs, and you will do about 3200 GB of transfer. Of course, you'll also have a lot of very angry surfers that couldn't get to your site because the port was maxed out. Again, in reality, bandwidth does not run in a straight line. Your graphs will have peaks and valleys, and if your 95th percentile is exactly 10 Mbps, you will not have done 3200 GB...you will have done between 2000 and 2500 GB.

I run NationalNet and do know a very small amount about bandwidth
