Brits Would Give Up Alcohol and Chocolate Rather Than Broadband

In a survey that highlights the importance of Internet access in people’s lives, Brits would rather give up alcohol and chocolate before broadband.

With the New Year looming and the making of resolutions upper most on peoples’ minds, a survey by Sky Broadband has shown how important Internet access is for our everyday lives.

When asked which would they rather give up for a month, 41% of men would give up chocolate, 29% would give up alcohol, whereas only 1% would give up their Internet access.

Women were more willing to give up alcohol than chocolate and only 2% of them would be prepared to give up their broadband connection.

Even sex was willing to be sacrificed in favour of broadband with 4% of men and 16% of women saying that they would be more prepared to abstain for a month rather than lose their broadband.

Commenting on these survey results, which questioned 5,246 people, Delia Bushell, Director of Broadband and Telephony at Sky, said:

“The verdict is pretty clear – you can take away sex and chocolate but you’ll never take away our broadband! The survey plainly shows that we Brits are devoted to our broadband as it does make our lives easier in so many ways, from saving money by shopping online to staying in touch with friends and family, or even finding a new job.”
