The poll cannot be rigged unless the person has a different PC and ISP ip number the vote is cast accepts one vote then every time you revisit you only see the results.
The number of votes seems broadly consistent with previous votes in ISPreview polls, the last 4 have all had over 1000 votes. http://www.ispreview.co.uk/cgi-bin/p...cgi?archives=1

If people had been rigging the vote I'd expect to see significantly more votes cast in the phorm poll, than in previous polls.

One thing I do find slightly surprising, is given that news items about Phorm have appeared on ISPreview, 25% of voters still had no idea what Phorm is.



Also Other polls on phorm are similarily negative, with only 4% voting here would not opt-out. and 82% of Skyuser forum members would leave Sky if Phorm was introduced by Sky http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/polls...u-stay-go.html
