    c) Two
    d) Three
    e) Four or more

just gonna throw this out here,

an internet forum with people who are gamers/musicians, both of which are hobbies undertaken largely by technically inclined people, will probably not get you the most unbiased of information

also not to be overly negative but your questions aren't exactly posed in what one could call a balanced way; its pretty clear which way you are looking for people to answer

im not against what you're doing and i agree with the rest of them isps shouldn't be getting so shady but you might wanna rethink some of this

You might be able to get some more insightful information (maybe this will lead into that but I don't know your research methods) if you ask about which services can be sacrificed in favour of which other services.

The problem is that without being specific, there's no way that anyone can say that their experience will improve if you sacrifice some content in favour of other content.

The funny thing is that if I phrased the question such as:

How would it affect your overall internet experience if, depending on your broadband provider, your multiplayer game latency (for games such as Team Fortress, BattleForge, and Street Fighter IV) go down to under 10ms average, but content involving Justin Beiber and Twilight downloads slower?

then you'd get a vastly different set of answers.

IMHO --->To be honest the "average consumer" wouldn't be able to give an educated response to these questions. It's not so much being a techie but being able to understand the process behind it. The average still falls short. <--- IMHO

IMHO if that's the case then this survey is worthless in the first place

its like giving a survey to star trek nerds being like "would your life be less fulfilling if star trek didn't exist?" OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO SAY YES WHAT KIND OF STUPID ASS QUESTION IS THAT

imho imho imho imho imho arrows pointing at what my imho is

Yeah, I seriously hope this is for like a Freshman English class or something, but even then the questions either have a fairly strong bias to them or are poorly worded from 7 to 10.

phew areks got my back

im glad im not the only one who thought so but i just couldnt stand reading every response and noting they were exactly the same

i mean honestly who's going to be like "i don't care if my isp limits my internet for no reason. go for it"

And the opposite of that would be asking someone who has never watched Star Trek whether Kirk or Picard is better. Besides, I never questioned the point made about the question structure, just the comment about getting a biased answer from a group who is educated on the topic. Also, seeing the same responses doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a biased return.
