How is usage billing calculated for Equinix Connect?
Equinix samples bandwidth usage every 5 minutes, collecting a total of 8,640 samples per month. At the end of each month, these samples are aggregated and ranked from highest to lowest Mbps.
The top 5% of samples (that is, the highest 432 samples) are excluded from charges. This sample set is referred to as the 95th percentile for traffic measurements.

rothbard - I chatted with a few folks internally and we couldn't replicate the issue on our side. If you want to send me a private message or contact support with your organization name, metro, and which month you downloaded, we can try and replicate within your account.
