This is BMIT’s annual digital lifestyle research, which has been conducted in an evolving format since 2008, covering the following major topics: home internet, digital media, & mobile usage. It explores internet and mobile spend, home internet access, download speed, technology products, streaming TV services, mobile data price sentiment and more.
This year, a total of 1 342 people participated in the survey. The digital lifestyle survey was conducted online. MyBroadband promoted the survey on social channels such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as on the MyBroadband forum. All participants in this service have internet access.
Respondents who said they worked in an IT function in their business were excluded from the survey to eliminate the bias towards people who work in technology.
The sample was weighted against IAB Digital Landscape Survey (which is weighted to the Establishment Survey) against the following survey variables: age, gender, & household income
