The Economics of 95/5

95th percentile billing drops the top 36 hours of your highest traffic in a month. If your stream has massive, short-lived spikes (like a 2-hour sports event once a week), 95/5 is usually terrible. If you run a steady 24/7 linear channel, 95/5 is significantly cheaper than paying per byte.
