500 megs a day = 15 gigs a month, plus web traffic equals 20 or so gigabytes
of traffic a month.  Most colocation plans price according to 95th-percentile
bandwidth used.. as long as my traffic doesent go UP on five-minute
averages, everything should be okay.  I just wanted to get everyone's
opinions on possible things I *might* have to do.

Keep in mind this is not a home DSL connection where they dont *care* how
much you download... This is outgoing traffic from my machine colocated 
in their datacenter.
