government securites valued at approximately S144 million with maturities corresponding to the interest payment dates for the convertible senior notes.
These securities were pledged and are held in escrow to provide payment in full for the first six interest payments of the conwertible senior notes (see Note 9), four of which were funded in 2006 and 2005.
These securities are accounted for as held-to- maturity securities.

Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Such events or changes in circumstances could indude such factors as impairment of the Company's indefinite life franchise under SFAS No.142, changes in technological advances, fluctuations in the fair value of such assets, adverse changes in relationships with local franchise authorities, adverse changes in market conditions or a deteriora- tion of operating results.
If a review indicates that the carrying value of such asset is not recowerable from estimated undis- counted cash flows, the carrying value of such asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.
While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assump- tions regarding such cash flows could materilly afect its evaluations of asset recoverability.
No impairments of long-lived assets to be held and used were recorded in 2006, 2005, and 2004; however, approximately S159 million and $39 million of impairment on assets held for sale was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 4).

Products and Services We offer our customers subscription-based video services, including video on demand (“VOD”), high definition (“HD”) television, and digital video recorder (“DVR”) service, Internet services and voice services.
As of December 31, 2017, 74% of our footprint was all-digital enabling us to offer more HD channels, faster Internet speeds and better video picture quality and we intend to transition the remaining portions of our Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House footprints to all-digital.
Our video, Internet, and voice services are offered to residential and commercial customers on a subscription basis, with prices and related charges based on the types of service selected, whether the services are sold as a “bundle” or on an individual basis, and the equipment necessary to receive our services.
Bundled services are available to substantially all of our passings, and approximately 59% of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.
All customer statistics as of December 31, 2017 include the operations of Legacy TWC, Legacy Bright House and Legacy Charter, each of which is based on individual legacy company reporting methodology.
These methodologies differ and their differences may be material.
Statistical reporting will be conformed over time to a single reporting methodology.
The following table summarizes our customer statistics for video, Internet and voice as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands except per customer data and footnotes).

(a) We calculate the aging of customer accounts based on the monthly billing cycle for each account.
On that basis, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, customers include approximately 245,800 and 208,400 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 60 days past due, approximately 19,500 and 15,500 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 90 days past due, and approximately 12,600 and 8,000 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 120 days past due.
(b) In the second quarter of 2017, we conformed the seasonal customer program in the Legacy Bright House footprint to our program.
Prior to the plan change, Legacy Bright House customers enrolling in the seasonal plan were charged a onetime fee and counted as customer disconnects, and as new connects, when moving off the seasonal plan.
Under our seasonal plan, residential customers pay a reduced monthly fee while the seasonal plan is active and remain reported as customers.
Excluding the impact of customer activity related to Legacy Bright House's previous seasonal plan, residential customer relationships and video, Internet and voice PSUs at December 31, 2016 would have been higher by approximately 10,000, 8,000, 12,000 and 7,000 respectively.
