Re: Then maybe I'm reading that pie chart wrong

These surveys are kind of useless in the fact that service from the same provider varies drastically by geographical region.

I've had Time Warner Cable in four locations. One was a miserable experience because a local car service was interfering with poorly shielded cable. Another location stunk because the line running to the house needed replacing.

The third and fourth locations saw rock-solid service, and the current location hasn't had a single outage in a year of service.

These survey responses also vary based on the technical understanding of the customer (re: gamers who need low latency vs. people who just browse and watch YouTube videos)....
