... you may easily deduct News traffic from being billed. BTW: tell me how do you exclude News Traffic if you count the 95th %ile?
Why should you? packets are packets; does your upstream provider charge you less for news? Are you magically capable of moving news across your own network cheaper than web traffic?
Billing based upon total bytes transferred is IMHO verfy fair and attractive from the point of a customer's view and tends to be a nightmare from an ISP's pespective especially if you don't just count bytes but are looking at the IP-addresses involved.
Agreed.
