Re: Wow, what a piece of trash!

No, his math was right, it was his English that was wrong. Change minutes/month to mintues/day.

So your telling me he was talking on the phone 19 hours per day? Hmmmm. I doubt that but if it's true then yeah that is a tad exessive.

what are you talking about? change the word "day" to "month" in his first sentence and you will understand he typed the wrong word the first time, and didn't repeat the mistake again.

No, apparently he was on the phone 38 minutes/average per day.

(1150 minutes divided by 30 average days per month equals 38 minutes per day)

I am betting he was doing something illegal if the total minutes per month is right.

(EDIT)

There are 1440 minutes in a day, so this article makes more sense if he was using 1150 minutes per day...

Re: Wow, what a piece of trash!

First companies need to stop advertising unlimited if they are going to set excessive usage limits. Then to rebut what you said.
How does it make more sense if he was on the phone 1150 minutes a day? If that was the case people would probably agree that his phone use is excessive. This article makes sense because its criticizing a VoIP company saying 38 minutes a day is excessive. Of course any normal person isn't going to agree that 38 minutes a day is excessive. I would go so far as to say no company should try to consider any usage excessive until it goes above 4 hours a day. And even so when that happens they need to set something up where a user pays double, and gets double that. Most companies solutions end up being a higher priced plan that doesn't even contain as many minutes as their excessive usage threshold. But I reiterate, no company really has the right to make an excessive usage cap if they continue to advertise unlimited usage.
