You should contact them to find out this number, then compare that to what your statistics are telling you to get a good idea for how close you are currently operating (or trending) relative to their limits.

Just as an aside, and I am not whoring their services, but Rackspace offers a completely dedicated server option on their Cloud Server platform that would run you about the same rate as what you are currently paying. You are charged based on bandwidth used, so you don't have to worry about hitting any caps. The only catch is that you need to be fairly computer (linux) savvy to take full advantage of it.
You dah Bomb.. Thank you so much, this really helped. I'm gonna peep Rackspace to see what they have to offer. I figured that was the case with the "unlimited" package. You don't get nothing for free anymore.
Again, thank you for the post, it was really helpful.
