What makes a network Premium for a Dedicated provider?

Honest question here.

Background:

I have dedicated servers in multiple data centres in the US, from various providers over the years. Providers like PureVoltage, Fiberstate, 1G Servers, SolidseoVPS, Clouvider and OVH to name a few.

Some of them give generious amounts of bandwidth (100TB to 660TB) on a 10G port.

Some other Dedicated server providers offer Much Much lower bandwidth at 10G. 50TB and less. Saying its Premium Bandwidth, whatever that is.

I really want to know, what is Premium Bandwidth and why some providers in the same State offer tremendous bandwidth and some others so little.

Is it that the ones offering dedicated servers with little bandwidth has a better network blend and they pay a higher premium for better upstream networking providers?

Thanks in advance.

    I think offering less bandwidth and claiming it's more premium is just an old overused marketing claim. Premium for me is just redundancy and multiple links with automatic failover.

    I agree. Does come down to features.
