 Charges for bandwidth
Bandwidth, Bandwidth limits, Bandwidth management, Bandwidth monitoring, Bandwidth testing

<i>n</i>th percential charging for bandwidth is the standard way that all CoLos charge. This gives everyone a fare charge on the bandwidth. If they charged by the highest peak, and your normal bandwidth is 3Mb, but you have a 1 minute spike to 98Mb should you really be charged for the full 98Mb. This could be several thousand dollars for 1 minute of usage.
