Or I could base my opinions on my own experience, which has been brilliant.. TPG has been great to me and I wouldn't hesitate signing up with them again.

Which is cool for you, but to anyone else you're just another internet statistic, meaning a larger sample size (such as the one in the survey) is more likely to have accurate information. Obviously if TPG was always 100% terrible it wouldn't be around. It however appears of have generally a higher rate of shittyness than a lot of other ISP's. Lots of data is better than just one personal experience, especially if you were recommending it to a friend.

...or maybe people are just more willing to complain than to compliment. Personally i had a terrible experience connecting with internode and no issues with tpg, does that mean my view is invalid because im seen as the minority as people always praise node? They have some of the worst value for money plans, forced people off old plans... Yet people only talk of the positives.

Its all a matter of perspective.

Id bloody well recommend it, in fact i have to family without issue.

Also, the survery itself says there is likely bias, so in itself is not an accurate representation.

Or Batemans Bay.

Edit: Damn Tapatalk and it's fail quoting.

No. Your bad experience with node being in the minority means its LESS likely you would have problems with a particular service, whereas the higher number of unsatisfied customers shows that it's more likely you will have problems with that service. That's what the survey is for, to see how well they're doing to help you choose. If I had a mate tell me he's never had any problems with TPG that's good information, but not as good as all the other information provided by whirlpool's survey. Also who said node is the be all end all? I'm not saying don't go with TPG, I'm saying don't base your opinion off one or two friends who have never had a problem when the data shows its more likely to have a problem with that isp over another. Of course pricing/availability/features would factor in as well in choosing, but the information is there, might as well make an informed decision.

The data merely shows people on whirlpool.

Its the equivilent of giving ACL the r18+ survey and saying its more relevant than my opinion, just due to volume.

sometimes... that's all you need, and it turns out it's for the best.

Actually it's nothing like that because the ACL would make a decision based on things that aren't true, whereas the WP survey is plain data, submitted by Australians. I'm also guessing they would have very little information / data to base their decision off, mostly going off their opinions/morals/whatever. Which is the same problem as disregarding lots of data for a small amount of personal experiences / beliefs. For the sake of argument imagine a person in the ACL had a 'personal experience' with violent videogames where they believe playing these games had a negative impact on children. Should they base their opinion on the r18 vote based entirely of personal experiences, or should they look for wider data / evidence?

I can't think anyone would reasonably argue that your own personal experiences with a product/service etc is more important than the feedback of thousands of others? Whats to say it's not just luck you / your friend hasn't yet had problems? Shouldn't the higher reports of problems compared to similar services by other companies tell you something?

[Scarface.au]

Ya know, its not that hard.

[Helelix]

I dont like grave digging. Firstly for the blisters, but also because you have to say goodbye. I will miss you kitty.

But I have a system! If it's dirty it goes on the floor.
They have exploited a flaw from my system, they must have an inside informant.

Picked up all the clothes very carefully, one at a time, and took them to the laundry.
Problem solved!

Try having a family of huntsman living in your car door. Pretty sure their cousins and distant relatives have moved in too.

First world problems, I got plenty.
