what happens if you exceed the bandwidth limits on a vps?
You're billed extra
the amount listed under more bandwidth on the pricing page I suppose...?
I'd assume so.
Just remember that bw is billed on the 95th percentile, meaning the top 5% is not counted towards your monthly usage in order to smooth out brief spikes.
I thought ARP charged for bandwidth by the gig for overages
brycec[m]: most people aren't billed on 95th
most people don't understand 95th

I took that, in addition to the presence of the "95th percentile" on my bandwidth graphs, to mean that's how ARP bills.
Also confirmed in 2011 http://irclogger.arpnetworks.com/irclogger_log/arpnetworks?date=2011-05-10,Tue&sel=65#l61
95th is for heavy bandwidth users

(That message doesn't really tell me how it's typically handled, one way or another)
well it does show a preference for per-gb charged than 95th

I wish my mobile phone charged $0.15 per gb...
this is clearer

yeah
(I guess I'm not clear on "what" 95th percentile billing is - I didn't think it was exclusive from per-gb billing. *shrug*)
yeah it's either/or normally
95th is kind of annoying for smlal amounts of bandwidth
because it means if you do something like a backup every day from home or such then the bandwidth used could depend on your home internet connection's speed
it's ok for continous low badnwidth, but regular medium bandwidth is more unpredictable
for something like straight web hosting it isn't so bad though

linux used to have a built in boot loeader to boot off floppy
oh, efistub.  yeah i've been meaning to try that
