Burstable is only for T1/E1 ports and charges are based on five levels of sustained monthly usage. Although the actual amount of Burstable usage will not be displayed on the invoice the 95th percentile will provide an indicator of which usage level may apply for the month. Note: since only the 1st decimal displays on the report there will be rounding differences between the reported 95% usage and actual usage due to the different number of decimal positions. Example: when the 95% usage reports 0.2 MBPS actual usage could range from .150 MBPS to .249 MBPS. Units are invoiced in KBPS and converted using the following formula: 0.2 MBPS * 1000 KBPS/1 MBPS = 200 KBPS.
