BT Home Networking questionnaire

BT (British Telecom) are conducting a survey on Home Networking, apparently to determine if potential users would prefer a power line PLT/PLA or radio based (WiFi) solution.

The Power Line Adaptors that BT have been using for their BT Vision product are claimed to pollute the RF spectrum, ruining peoples' enjoyment of radio over a wide area around the house they are installed in.

The questionnaire does not ask for name or personal details and says:
You are not obliged to answer all questions but it would help our research if you could. There is a total of 20 questions and it should take about 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Among the questions are:

5. Do you use any powerline home networking products in your home?
One of the answers is - No, I do not want to use Powerline

7. Which of the following best describes your attitude to Powerline?
One of the answers is - I don’t want it

15. Which of the following statements best describes your experience of WiFi?
One of the answers is - Perfect

You can fill in the questionnaire at

The Radio Society of Great Britain has established a Spectrum Defence Fund to fight against PLA/PLT and the threat that these systems pose.
