$73M was the cost for Washington State customers, so the relevant number for the amount of internet customers, is "number of Comcast customers in Washington state". This state has less than 7.5M people, so there can't have been 25M Comcast customers being swindled. (Those 11M+23M must have been the national customer base.)
I don't know if Comcast is more or less popular in WA than elsewhere, but if (for a first approximation), they are as popular in WA as elsewhere (25M out of 320M), we'd get less than 600,000 Comcast customers in WA.
In other words, about 1/6 of the WA Comcast customers got hit by this particular fee, assuming that each one payed this fee every single month for the entire 5 year period.
3 billion?
Wait, is he arguing that there are 3 billion US citizens?
Or that each US citizen has 9-10 user accounts, on average?
