You have to well differentiate here if you get shared traffic or dedicated one.
I don't know how they do it, but we get 600-800 Mbps constantly since properly configuring the nodes at Limehost. Axigy provides dedicated Gbit at that price to us as sponsorship - same for NForce (actually their deal is 2x100TB outbound, inbound free).
In othe rwords if you pay 109€ for 1GBit you are unlikely able fill that gigabit 95% of the time.
See http://voxility1.torservers.net/vnstat_d.png and http://voxility1.torservers.net/vnstat.png (pretty constant daily pattern)
In international wholesale, prices per megabit range from 1€ - 50€ depending on location.
That's why we go with ISPs who do a mixed calculation. Say, one in ten customers uses the full Gbit.
