That's part of why I limited my analysis to sessions of users who had
been on in both the before and after time periods. Same users, same
phone lines for nearly all, same modems for nearly all, etc.

While all the users were in both groups, there could have been quite
different mixes of them, but thousands of sessions is enough to make
that unlikely.
