Whirlpool survey polls readers on NBN

According to recent reports the annual survey performed by the Internet forum Whirlpool is focusing its efforts for this year on finding out what its readers think about the National Broadband Network.

The time of year has come in Australia for the annual survey that is carried out by the online forum Whirlpool. According to recent reports readers and members of the forum this year will be targeted with questions about what they think of the National Broadband Network. Readers will be polled throughout this month about their broadband purchasing trends and their opinions.

It is thought that the survey serves as an excellent indicator of consumer sentiment, and takes place each year in January. The responses are now always high in numbers but have been growing each year. Officials from Whirlpool have also said that its readers are usually people that have tried and tested various broadband providers for themselves and are now in a position to advise others in terms of which provider or plan to choose from.

When the results were published the company said: “The group surveyed are more likely to be advising friends, family and co-workers on which ISP to join. Broadband service providers should pay close attention to this demographic, as their influence wields significant impact.”

This year’s focus, perhaps unsurprisingly, is very focused on the NBN, and readers have been asked a range of questions such as what they thought of the handling of the NBN so far by the government, whether the opt out policy being entertained by Tasmania was a good idea, whether they were thinking about singing up to NBN services when available, and the amount that they would be expected to pay for the services.
