Help my math please

With 842 samples weighted across the 7 providers in the study, the math looks something like this.
* Sub numbers from Wikipedia and may be in question
** % of market is only with these 7 and not the entire Pay-TV market

IF that is the proper breakdown of the sample, the stats generated are pretty poor. You would need to poll the exact same number of customers, from each of the carriers, to get a better set of stats. Another useless set of information released that Verizon PR will spin to their advantage.

Kind of like the stat Glenn Beck threw out the other day about UAW workers making $164/hr when you include their benefits--he forgot to mention that some CEOs like Ivan Seidenberg make $9,000+/hr on Salary and bonuses without benefits[based upon an 8hr workday--his salary and bonuses come out to approx $75,000.00 per day]. Which hourly rate is more obscene in your opinion?

It's not the breakdown of the polls... It is a potentially weighted breakdown. Without the $2000 report it is hard to vet the data.

Even with equal polling, I think the sample set is pretty small.

I bet Glenn Beck didn't state HIS hourly wage. He's got nerve complaining people that make MUCH less than him somehow make too much. Oh he'll talk about he worked hard went to college and did all the right things and that he has special talents that make him worth that money. As if people that make less somehow don't try and are lazy and/or stupid. Beck's "talent" is being blowhard on TV and badmouthing "liberals". How hard is that? most of the people on Fox do a "better"( for lack of a better term ) job at it than him.

I agree.. the sample is too small to be of any significance - esp on the AT&T / VZ customer polling.

I'd recommend somewhere in the area of 10,000-25,000 to at least make a sampling. Having 7 or 11 people as a valid number for AT&T or VZ is not enough for any meaningful statistics. 1/10 our of 10,000 samples means something. 1/10 out of 10 samples is too small of a sample base.

Since when do we punish success? I have never seen Glenn Beck say that making more money was a bad thing. Conservatives and Libertarians (such as myself and Glenn Beck) want everyone to make more money... But don't say you're not making a KILLING when you CLEARLY are.... Especially if it means that your company is going under if you don't make concessions!
