Broadband more vital than food, Survey

RobitTV

A survey poll stated by Sky News has hinted that people would prefer Keeping their Broadband at all costs. Even if it means Not buying food. Or having Warm Water.

The Sky poll, involved a survey of 1,000 respondents, it was stated that broadband is something of vital essence to people, where the importance of faster connectivity is above than food.

Research analyst Michael Garland, through Sky News reports said: "Many Sky News Panel respondents indicated increasing concern over the impact that the current economic climate is having on their financial situation."

It was further added that many people browse with the fear tagged with job security, integrated with rising costs for commodities such as food and drink, petrol, and electricity and gas which has caused a thought for money inflow. Many become patients of insomnia, moodiness and even ill health due to such situation.

Another poll done by Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank claimed that 93 per cent of people considered the last option to part with their Internet connection.

I got broadband just last year after nearly a decade on dialup. I think this survey is pretty accurate!

I was over in someones's house earlier trying to sort out their very old laptop with a dial up connection. I was ready to throw myself out of the window after 5 minutes. Broadband is the best thing ever

You should have thrown their laptop out the window & told them to join the 21st Century.

I thought about it, but it meant unplugging a lot of tangled up cables. Throwing myself out would've been quicker..

I thought I was the only one who felt like this. Better to be hungry and internet-ed than full and no internet-ed.

It's like that episode of South Park ... hordes of families heading west, in search of the internet.

That honestly sounds like some sort of NLP command. I should know, I'm an NLP practitioner.

If you didn't have food for a month, you'd probably have died.

By sheer coincidence, Sky is seeking to become a major provider of broadband services in the UK.
Who the hell values dataflow over food? This isn't S Korea...

Ah, yeah it's clearly skewered for commercial purposes but I think it's true that people now see internet access as a necessity, rather than a luxury and will sacrifice other things to try to keep it when times get tough. For me it would definitely be one of the last things to go, if possible.

I ate my laptop last night after reading this thread, wasn't as nice as the hang sangwich I was gonna have, plus shiitin' the keyboard out this morn left me ould chocolate fudge canal with a hint of a raspberry 'jus' in it so I think it's safe to say that food is defo more important than broadband!
