Bandwidth overage on slicehost is .30/GB. On Linode it's .10/GB. That's a fairly massive difference.

For some businesses, the economic value of a marginal gigabyte is, say, (does math) $50.

Santa, for Christmas this year:

1) I'd like to use all of my 500 GB quota, every month.

2) I'd like to start paying overage charges. REALLY BIG OVERAGE CHARGES.
