Hi I'm currently doing the level 3 economics research internal and I need to collect information from people about their thoughts about broadband.

2. What do you spend your time doing on the internet?
a. Socialising with friends (facebook, email etc)

3. What Internet provider are you with?

4. What is your data cap per month?
a. 20GB <

5. If the price of broadband increased in price by the following amounts would you consider giving up broadband
a. $10
b. $20
c. $30
d. $40
e. $50+

6.If the price of the broadband plan you are currently on had an increase of price by the following amounts would you consider changing to a cheaper plan even if it means you would have a smaller data cap?
a. $10
b. $20
c. $30
d. $40
e. $50+


Some general questions
1. What age group do you belong to?
a. < 30
b. > 30

2. What gender are you?

1. no, but definitely makes work far more efficient and saves paying for multiple phone lines.

2. All of the above.

3. Slingshot

4. b

5. No to all of them, I would (and did) reduce speed/data.

6. a - no;  b - maybe; c, d, e yes

general: over 30, M, <40000, I have an ethical objection to putting ethnicity in surveys.




Time to find a new industry!

+1 - thats exactly what i was going to suggest :)

its also easier, and faster, for those filling out the survey.  still a good idea to post the question list in here so people know what they'll get when they click through.
