I think it came to about 480GB when I figured it. We are pricing a flat-rate band-width limited to 1.5Mbit/second - and showing how it makes more sense to use a dedicated machine at our site instead of paying for your own T1, UPS, etc. We've priced it so it is cheaper for most. And we guarantee that data rate will be available. Sometimes on your own T1 you don't know if you are part of a FR and will always get guaranteed bandwidth. Last time I checked the data stream was about $450 for 1.5Mb 90% useage. [about $300Mb].
