- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Virgin Media are ripoff merchants (Score:4, Interesting)
which is why I ditched the wire and went for the only viable option - cellular on Three. £15/mo and I get five hours of calls, 3,000 texts and limitless data. Truly limitless.
By limitless, I mean: when I first switched, I didn't know what they meant by it. After a couple months, I had to call tech support from one of their shops, because everyone in my area suddenly lost service and fell back to roaming on the Orange network (which their PAYG data plan doesn't work on). They asked me if I was a data user, to which I half-jokingly replied yes, several Gigabytes a day. I realised my slip and asked them if that was OK with them, to which they responded, "You paid for the plan - when we say all you can eat data, we mean it."
Colour me gobsmacked. Turns out that several weeks of continuous saturation had burned their cell and they had to replace the whole shebang. To get around the problem of saturation burn, they simply installed a more powerful box. Within a day of my call.
Tellin' ya, this thing is faster and more stable than what I was getting on Virgin. For *one fifth the cost*.
I will never, EVER go back to Virgin.

At least you can get comcast. I have verizon because comcast refuses to give us service (Baltimore, same options as you)
When my roommates and I moved into our house, we tried to get comcast (cable and internet) but everytime we tried to set it up they said there was a hold on our account. Eventually it came out that a few years back our house had been a meth lab and the people who lived there didn't pay their bill for about a year. Why they didn't have their service cut off before then is beyond me, but our house is now on some sort of black list. Even after going to a comcast service center with our lease and ids to prove that we are different people, we still can't get comcast. So verizon DSL it is. Not that I particularly want comcast, but I like having options. And not being associated with cooking meth.
