Depending on the synchronization between the burst pattern and the sampling system, and the sampling technique itself, the 95% reading can be zero, half the line rate, or the line rate, and all answers are equally valid in some sense.
They don't take a one-second sample every five minutes, they take the five-minute average rate measured by their router. Unless they're insane, or their routers don't support that. I dunno who makes routers that don't support that, though.
