Subject:   Actual bandwidth used vs. statistics reports - customer explaination

I had a quick question for ISP's and Web Hosting Companies out there.

We give our hosting customers free access to web reports (Through say
webalizer).

We measure customer bandwidth usage for unique IP address customers
through IPFW - which counts all data for their IP address.

Does anyone have good ways to explain to customers why actual bandwidth
used can vary greatly from web reports? Sometimes with reports only
reporting on 50% of actual bandwidth used?

We have tried to explain overhead, real audio files being excluded, etc.
However - I think at this point - it might be beneficial to point the
customer to 3rd party information.

Anyone able to offer any help?

Thanks in advance...
