There's a "service" out there that "tests" your server for you and quickly consumes about 4 GB of bandwidth. It was featured in a tech blog this morning.
I won't share the URL here because Dathorn's forums are public, but any of you can PM or email me and I'll let you know. The testing application allows anyone to enter any domain name and WHAM, they get hit with 4 GB of traffic.
I tried it this morning and yeah, it lets you mount what is in essence a bandwidth attack on any site you want. I'm thinking I'll put the IP address in each customer's .htaccess file (using the IP Deny applet in Cpanel.)
