Historically providers have been reluctant to provide that level of detail concerning traffic levels. A few providers, generally smaller ones, do make MRTG graphs available. Once in a while a provider will announce they had X Peta/Terrabytes of traffic for some time period. But most prefer measurements which can not be correlated with revenue (e.g. packet drops, latency, jitter, availability, etc).
You mean a lot like when IE 5 first came out? As a result, I got the priviledge of shutting one of my providers off. :) It's sad when a 3Mb pipe is prefered over a 12Mb pipe; even sadder when it's actually faster. Glad I learned my lessons before I really learned the meaning of bandwidth. :) -Jack
