Follow-up question: How may users have multiple accounts?

On our pc2pc voip service we see 19 mins/month/user. On our outbound only pc2pstn service we see 55 mins/month/user. On our 1st line replacement voip service we see 346 mins/month/user.

Funny, the more people pay the more they talk. But I think really you can't trust the pc2pc numbers because how do you even say which customers are active, are they active if they turn on their softphone once a month? or for 5 straight days? or are they active if they are online for 15 days a month?

One more stat is that the average user talked for 62 minutes (7.1 billion minutes divided by 113 million users) during the quarter, or about 20 minutes a month.

I don't know anything about voice companies; is that good or bad?

The follow-up question is: 113 million users, is that active users? If not, it is a totally bogus stat.
