5 years is practically forever. The per gig sounds great but I am prone to look at it more in the terms of need. If you only need 5 gig but you buy 10 to get it at a better price, you really just doubled your "perceived cost". To belabor the point, need 5 but bought 10 at $200 a gig? You just paid $400 a gig.
I will say when we had HE, Cogent, and Level3, I was always shocked how much traffic went across the HE connection. I was expecting it to be the lowest utilized and it was always the highest with over 70% of the traffic with shaping or route forcing going on. Straight BGP.
