I never argued equipment, other than what the contract itself states.  I
also meant 100% of a 3mb download bandwidth, 80% of 24 hrs, on a
constant daily basis.  Huge difference in numbers.

If you're pulling that much bandwidth, you're costing them more than
they have provisioned (not more than you are paying, mind you).


---HUGE SNIP---

I'm simply arguing that the reason the provision of one device is in
there is for bandwidth hogs who eat more bandwidth than the company
provisioned for.  It gives them an easy out.  No more, no less.
