   honestly, I'd complain about my cable company if you gave me a free iPod.

   I woudn't, for the simple fact that my cable company has a monopoly in this market.
   
   If I complain, I can expect to never get service from them again. Then I'll be forever stuck with the telcos and their crappy DSL.
   
   No thanks, you can keep your iPod.

   for a free ipod? ill complain about them for one of them. shoot that'd be great. just because you complain about them doesnt mean they wont give you service anymore. and if they do just sue for discrimination (cuz everyone is so frikkin sue-happy now-a-days). another way is just get a friend to subscribe for it for you and pay him every month. simple. done.

   You dont get an ipod just for complaining. You get a CHANCE to win an ipod nano. It looks like they choose one (maybe several, but not many) person per month from all of the people who submit their cable horror stories and give them the nano. Its not like you can just go over there and give them some bogus story, pocket the ipod, then leave.
   
   Personally though im quite happy with my cable internet. It does bug me that I have to pay for all these cable tv channels (and none of them are the ones I want) in order to be allowed to get internet, but the internet service itself is great.

    If all cable conpany's are like my cable Company, everyone needs to complain - and I do, and It's not for an iPod, It's an attempt for better cable service and viewing

    I've been complaining about the crappy "service" from Comcast for years. Finally switched to Verizon FIOS, and my broadband problems have pretty much vanished. So where's my IPod?

    You didn't check with your modem provider and make sure it was running in perfect phase. If you'd done that then you'd most likely be happy with your service from them.

    The cable companies should counteract with their own free ipod program. I would about both of them and hence, get 2 iPods!
