As far as I know, every carrier bills by 95th percentile.
This particular server is colocated and the bandwidth average is
2.35mbps while the 95th is 3.7mbps.
I don't want my clients to have to compete for bandwidth - if 1000
users share a 3mbps fixed pipe, they will each get 3k/sec -. Rather I
want to guarantee a fixed output for each client. This ensures
adequate speed for everyone AND flattens out my peaks.

Also, the reason for this need is that some services use
burst-bandwidth and I have many peaks and lows throughout the day.
This means that my carrier who bills me by the 95th percentile is
having a field day.
He bills by the second or average hour like most people? It's not as
black and
white as it seems - you also get higher average when the number of
connections increases, not just the bandwidth they consume.
I think you'll find that bursts are best counteracted like this:

This seperates 'downloads' from 'webpages', 'normal mails' from 'attachments'
and you can then tune accordingly, if you have/get some graph.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
