I don't know how they do it, but we get 600-800 Mbps constantly since
properly configuring the nodes at Limehost. Axigy provides dedicated
Gbit at that price to us as sponsorship - same for NForce (actually
their deal is 2x100TB outbound, inbound free).

See http://voxility1.torservers.net/vnstat_d.png

pattern)

That's why we go with ISPs who do a mixed calculation. Say, one in ten
customers uses the full Gbit.
