Voting with your wallet doesn't work unless you can get a LARGE mass of people to do so.
I'm pretty sure that voting is always about getting a large mass of people to agree with your opinion and act accordingly. But voting with your wallet is kind of like asking people to answer an open ended question with True or False.
What was it you were voting for? Better customer service or Net Neutrality? Something else entirely?
Also, plenty of people don't vote in elections. Since they don't care enough to make their opinions known through action they are discounted from the process. Unfortunately, when voting with your wallet there will be plenty of people who don't want to "vote" but there's no way to distinguish them from votes for the incumbent.
Fortunately we do vote for our representatives, so maybe instead of trying to divine a purpose from indirect actions we should just tell our representatives what we want and empower them to make decisions in our best interest.
