Ns Server Bandwidth Usage?

I was wondering if anyone knew a ballpark figure for how much bandwidth a typical NS server would use up?

    Here is my server. It is an 18 player server.

    Brutus if you don't mind my asking, how much do you pay for your rackshack machine?

    My 12 player server with 1 reserved slot uses approx 220k/sec. I also capped my sv_maxrate at 2500 to prevent those who have insane update rates from sucking up more then they really need.

    My maxrate is 8500.

    Rackshack's prices are no secret... just hit their main page. A P4 2.0ghz with 400gb of traffic runs around $130/mo; right now they're having a sale so set-up's $20 instead of the usual $150.

    I get 14 ppl playing ns utilizes about 60k/sec in bandwidth... 30k in, 30k out. That's about 150gb of traffic/month.

    So I guess it would be pretty impossible to run a server with roughly 12-14 players under 750 MBytes total a day?

    =P For some reason I thought the bandwidth usage would be less than what it is.
