If I offer $324 per 1Mbps, will you signup?
$324 per 1Mbps - $1 per gig. based on 95th percentile.

Location: Fremont, California

I'm talking about good bandwidth.

If you reply please be serious, so I can plan something out.

If this survey comes out good, I will post it in "Web Hosting Special Offers" Forum.

Yes, dektong.

If everything works out, it will be 100mbps switch port.

I would also never settle with 95th percentile. Give me average, give me actual, but never 95th.

I thought 95th percentile was good if you had steady usage... Is it just unstable usage you are worried about?

From my own statistics, 1mbit 95% percentile averages out to be about 150-200gigs, depending on how big of a difference there is between peak and off peak usage. I'm not trying to mathmatically prove that, but thats the rule of thumb I use based upon observations of my own MRTG graphs.

I was on a 95 percentile plan. I hated it. I like being charged by the GB. So I would not go for your plan.
