I've already answered the questions, but to the OP, how are you going ot accoutn for the fact that the sample you get here is going to be nowhere near representative of NZ.
the poll here will be massively skewed towards the high end, high user, broadband-is-my-life type people (not that there is anything wrong with that of course :D ).

Nate - Great idea. I don't need to do it with this survey as I have collected enough information but for future surveys I will definitely use it.

SamF - Sure I'll post the results up later this week

NonPraying Mantis: I definitely realise that this survey will not be a proper representation of broadband users in New Zealand but for this project the main idea is for me to apply lots of economic ideas to explain peoples changes in demand relating to price increases. I have also asked different forums to answer my survey and have asked people in person to try get the best variety of people I could manage. Theres also the second part of the report relating to the market structure of broadband which I have to read many reports to answer :(
Sorry I should of made it more clear what my survey results were going to be used for.

Everyone else - Thanks again for answering. Didn't expect so much people but that's excellent.
