The question you need to ask these hosts, is what happens if you actually use and/or exceed the allotted plan's bandwidth.

It's all well and good if a host has a hosting plan offering a billion gigs of bandwidth, but the question is, can they handle it?

The practice is called over-selling. Hosts offer big everything, knowing that 95% of clients will never hit those limits, so if you're one of the few that will or might, then this is going to be a concern for you.

It's also good practice to let your host know if you expect bandwidth spikes so they can be prepared.
