How much bandwidth do I need?
I have a few VPS that all together I use about 3500 Gig bandwidth monthly
If I buy a dedicated server for this how much bandwidth will I need in terms of Mbps?Treat your password like your toothbrush.

So you will need a little more info to really know.
If all of your traffic were exactly even always then you could just do simple math of use a calculator:
http://www.topcalc.com/bandwidth.php
Based on what you say it says you would need 11.44 Mbps. Of course what you really need is to know your bandwidth needs at your busiest hour and then use some sort of grade of service (that you adopt) to give you the level you need. Since it is pretty small usage say double.
So look to your logs to determine either traffic distribution (then extrapolate the bandwidth in the busiest hour of the month). Or look to find your bits per second in both directions at the busiest point.
Be sure and go over this with your provider and try and determine if they are going to throttle or limit (this is usually the case) so verify that say a 100Mbps connection will actually yield that, and if it doesn't if they will correct the situation.

10Mbit is 3.285TB max, OP requested 3.5TB.

Unless you have to buy a specific commit, getting a 100Mbps line with a bandwidth limit of like 5TB will be good. Its pretty common too with hosting plans.

Without any traffic data, simple math proves that a:

@psalm91 see how the real world (especially when the data sample is so small) is different from rules of thumb. That 250Mbps could have been a simple net attack on some WP login (as an illustration). But it doesn't matter because you have to engineer for abuse too (or learn to mitigate better), so unless you can rule out that as a situation that won't happen again, I'd talk to your provider and see if they can get you on a shared 1G, something where they will allow some spikes and know that is unusual and you don't have to pay for what is mostly unused. Worth asking for or investigating as to what the 250 spike is.

Don't I need about 50 Mbps of dedicated line ? Or do I need less?Treat your password like your toothbrush.
