You've got a hidden input field with the same name as the checkbox. "later" fields with the same name as an earlier one will overwrite the previous field's values. This means that your form, as posted above, will ALWAYS submit service=Other.

Given the phrasing of your question in the html, it sounds more like you'd want a radio button, which allows only ONE of a group of same-name fields to be selected. Checkboxes are an "AND" situation, radio buttons correspond to "OR"
