Re: Ntl:Home win award

Let's face it, the award is meaningless on just straight numerical grounds between large and small company users.

The large company of 3,000,000 only needs 26% of them voting, to beat the small company of 750,000. The small company cannot get more than the large, even with it's 100% votes.

Though it is obvious that the small company with 100% voting for it, is better than the large company with only 26% voting for it.

The straight numerical vote gives a completely distorted incorrect win to the large company.

It is exactly the same with ntl's 'best dial-up award', it is invalid.

You can even reverse the question, and the large company will win again.
Question - which company is the worst.
The large 3,000,000 company above gets 74%, the small 750,000 company gets 0%.

The large company of 3,000,000 (ntl) win, at being the worst company.
