Do you have any reason to believe that modem users have a higher usage of the big non-OSS stuff (AcroRead, MoneyPlex, AntiVir, ...) than broadband They should have about the same use, but more problems to get them.
So if you don't dispute the survey then there is only a small percentage of people who *may* have a problem getting them.
I do, you know >:-) Because people with problems connecting will probably also have problems answering online surveys, which will thus be biased. Look, an example: some days back we were helping a chap that only has limited email access, nothing else. He uses openSUSE, without online updates. In his country, he is privileged because he has email. Most have nothing at all (of those having a computer). Obviously, he hasn't filled any survey. Another example I was told some days ago. Quite some years ago a telephone survey was made on the presidential elections of some country. The result was that the "right" would win, but it was the "left" who won the elections. They didn't take into account that only people with money (those with more right side inclinations) had telephone lines at that time. This is historical, not invented. My point is that an online survey is biased when trying to learn conclusions about the Internet access of your entire user base. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
