- Why are we doing this survey?
- This digital survey is an initiative from iHull, the Institute for Creativity and innovation at the University of Hull, and phone and broadband provider KC. The results will help provide insight into how you use the internet and technologies today and what you would like to use it for in the future. We also want to know your experiences of the service you receive and what could be improved, regardless of your current provider or where you live.
- What will we be doing with the results?
- We will be releasing the results in the future to show trends, statistics and specific areas which have been flagged as important. We will be repeating this annually so we start to build a picture of how the digital age is evolving in the UK.
- How long is the survey open for?
- You have until the 15th of December to complete it.
- Is there a prize draw?
- Yes, we have one Apple iPad for the person whose name is drawn at random from the respondents.
