Re: 150% increase

AC1 and AC2

You are both right...and both wrong....possibly

It all depend if the O2 Spokesman knows anything about maths and percentages and therefore actually understood what he was saying.

My guess is that he actually did not have a clue what he was saying and although what he strictly said meant 1.5 times more than normal, the actual increase was only 50%

"O2: "Our online shop saw a 150% increase in online traffic in the first two hours."

- wow - that's almost.. half their regular users again."

Ummm.. NO you'r thinking of a 50% increase 150% increase is 1.5 x more than normal so thats double and then half again.10 users -> 25, 100 -> 250 etc...
