What am I missing here?

150GB Disk/1.5TB Transfer, yet if you click "Full Specs" it says 50MB disk/2GB Transfer.

loss-leader.. but they'll likely (as has been discussed numerous times) end up on top in the end when the majority of the folks who sign up for this come nowhere close to using what they are given.

I dont think they have profit with that kind of sales. getting more customers? Hostway has many customers I believe. How many customers they can get through this offer? and how about the cost for operation for these customers?
