FWIW, my bandwidth was upped quite a bit when I moved to the new server. We're doing just fine. The site has had about 3 million hits since the 15th, not including today (my stats analyzer only processes data once per day, and so I won't find out about today until much later). It usually gets about 300,000 to 400,000 per day, so its rate has about doubled.
