Ahh, but are you saying that current blow-based transit pricing is stable?

ah. no. current transit pricing is way way lower than a non-bankrupt provider can afford to do it for on an ROI that the public markets would find worthy of their praise. eventually, all kinds of flies are going to hit all kinds of windshields. but there's so much bankrupt asset in the field right now that nobody still knows how much anything really costs them to produce. so it's apparently stable for now.

Maybe I am exceptionally naive, but are DDOSes *REALLY* that consistent between providers to affect month-over-month or quarterly ratios?

yes. because if you're a small provider then you only need a small flow to balance yourself. and the 95th percentile cuts both ways.
