Probably not, per the official document[0]:

> a provider may report aggregate data in the following separate categories:

> The total number of all national security process received ... in the following bands: 0-249 and thereafter in bands of 250

0-249 probably means 125.

Nope. Starting in 2013 the government agreed provides could report aggregate of official requests for customer data (including NSLs) in bands of 1000. In 2014 the agreement[0] was altered to provide two options

* fine-grained categorisation large bulk, separately reports on numbers of NSLs, customer affected by NSLs, content FISA, customers affected by content FISA, non-content FISA and customers affected by non-content FISA in bands of 1000 (for each category) starting from 0-999 inclusive

* coarse-grained categorisation finer bulk, report only the aggregate number of FISA and NSL orders and the number of customers affected by that aggregate, but do so in bands of 250 (starting from 0-249 inclusive)

So "0-249" means "between 0 and 249", they're not allowed to be more precise at this point

Actually, 0-249 means -249 :D
