Sky Broadband UK Reveals Brits Would Rather Give up Chocolate than the Internet
Posted: 30th Dec, 2010 By: MarkJ
A new survey of 5,200 British men and women by UK ISP Sky Broadband (BSkyB) has claimed that most people would sooner give up chocolate, alcohol, sex, television or mobile phones as part of a New Year's Resolution than lose their broadband internet access. Just 3% of men and women would give up broadband first.Sky's Director of Broadband and Phone, Delia Bushell, 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."
