Okay then...


1. The figures describe 'active' users. If someone has sent me an

e-mail to my account, does that mean it's active? No definition of the

term active *immediately* renders the figures dubious.


2. If as stated 85% are active in that magic 30 day period and as Mr

Danby says those who don't use the service after 30 days are

unsubscribed, then surely that 475,000 figure should be 403,750?


3. Have these figures been externally audited by another organisation

i.e. not Dixons or Freeserve? In fact, do any ISPs get their figures

audited?


I don't trust the figures, simple as that - it sounds a little too

good to be true. I didn't make myself too clear in my post, but

trusted organisations to audit all ISPs using the same methodologies

would make the whole thing a lot easier.


Stefan sticking up for Dixons - what next? Noam Chomsky joining the

board of MacDonalds?
