My question is:
Fine so lets get some real idea about usage: Hosting a WordPress website that displays photos about 150kb with maybe under 500 hist in a month. If the visitor spends say 1 minute looking at a 150kb photo, and each of the 500 visitors do exactly the same thing, how much "usage" would that be and how much would it cost?How much does true cloud hosting usage cost?
Answer:
Ok, so with that type of usage, you would not be charged extra for bandwidth, as that is very low usage.
Another follow up question was asked regarding Youtube streaming:
You will be provided with a 1Gb/s port, so you will not face any issues with slow or sluggish connections. for embedded video, that is a very good question. That would be YouTube that would deal with the bandwidth as once the video is loaded it is connected to YouTube.
My Follow UP
Oh! The real problem I have had in the past is facing such issues as throttling from the webhost. Bluehost has lost me as a customer for that reason. Please provide some sort of concept so I can understand typical usage figures. I am mainly a Wordpress developer, showing mainly text and photos. Occasionally a Youtube video embedded? Who pays the streaming cost for that is it form my bandwidth or Youtube for an embedded video they watch on my website. What about SQL requests how is that measure is 5gib of SQL requests alot?

I was running a a social share website that was getting a lot of use. People were joining maybe spamming the site with their links out. The MySQL database had perhaps grown to over 5GB and I was running a reseller at example:xyz host and per their TOS they had the right to throttle the site because of too many "SQL requests?....
Web hosting services offer: Unlimited Everything however:

What is CPU Throttling?
Throttling means that our proprietary CPU Throttling System has automatically tied your account to its own dedicated core temporarily to keep your account from dominating too much CPU time. Throttling for less than 600 seconds in any given hour will not usually negatively affect your site's performance for visitors. In some extreme cases, our admins may suspend the account until the problem(s) is/are resolved or the website optimized.
Throttling or Suspensions are usually caused by:
Throttling or Suspensions are usually caused by:
- Poorly coded PHP scripts such as multiple nested loops, or infinite loops.
- Themes, Addons, or Plugins (if you just added a new component to your script, you may want to remove it to see if that new component caused your site to suddenly perform slowly)
- Queries that return inordinately large dataset results (eg: 100,000 records) in the response object of a round trip to the server.
- Queries that take too long to execute due to heavy aggregation commands like SUM, COUNT over very large datasets without proper indexing.
- Queries that are doing complex unoptimized nested joins.
- Queries that execute large batch commands like INSERTS, UPDATES, OR DELETES - these types of SQL calls are 10 times more expensive and resource intensive than the SELECT query command.
- DDoS Attacks
- Any process that uses too much RAM, like a rogue cron job
- Too many simultaneous connections like Downloads, FTP, IMAP, or PHP
