We let our last poll run for way, way too long. As a reminder we asked readers “What do you call home?” And here’s how the results stacked up based on a mind-numbing 78 votes:
- Carlsbadistan and proud 60%
- Far away 17%
- The Eastern Front (suburban Carlsbad) 9%
- La Costa 8%
- A town nearby, but not Carlsbad. 6%
It appears that we have nailed our targeted demographic pretty dead-center. Kudos to us. We’re also happy with the “Far Away” numbers because that means many who love Carlsbadistan (but can’t live here full time), are using our site to keep tabs on their favorite beach Village. And for that we say thanks.
For poll number five, we’ve decided to ask Carlsbadistan how you feel about your cable company? You know, the one with the metropolitan cable monopoly. We have had some problems with our Time Warner On-Demand service, but at this point, we’re really not interested in getting it fixed (even though Time Warner Cable San Diego’s VP of Public Affairs Marc Farrar has been nice enough to offer to “resolve the On Demand issue” not once, but twice.)
So this week we’re asking our readers to finish the following sentence: Time Warner Cable is. . .
Please look to the right-hand column (under the words “What Do You Think?” and let us know.

Dear Editors,
I’d like to reiterate my offer to help you with whatever problems you’re having with Video On Demand. Please email directly at marc.farrar@twcable.com so we can set up an appointment for one of our technicians to come to your residence at your convenience to get this problem resolved. Meanwhile, you may be interested to know that, coincidentally, we’re performing a software upgrade in the next 48 hours that is intended to address certain issues customers in the former Adelphia system have been experiencing. I’m hopeful this will address whatever issues you’re experiencing with our VOD service. However, if it does not resolve them, please give us a chance to learn what the specific problem is so we can attempt to fix it. Without some specifics we’re unable to be of assistance. While we realize that for some customers it hasn’t been as smooth a transition from Adelphia to Time Warner Cable as you or we would prefer, we’re working every day to address every issue we’re aware of.
Thanks,
Marc Farrar
Vice President of Public Affairs
Time Warner Cable San Diego
What about the cableless Carlsbadistans? It might be an informative addition to your new poll.
