Re: [nznog] Stats NZ ISP survey

I hope this isn't too far off topic but it goes to the accuracy of the actual stats. How does everyone decide on what is and isn't a business connection when completing the survey? I'm guessing its reasonably straight-forward for those of you dealing with UFB / DSL but out here in rural wireless land the line is pretty blurry. These are some fairly substantial businesses being run from family homes.

In this case no... they have carried across the 2014 percentages from the 2013 column... It's a basic, basic, basic error that I wouldn’t expect Stats NZ to make.

(All 3 values are wrong in the 2014 percentage column are wrong... they are listed as 67/32/1 and should be 69/29/2)

But I'm sure (apart from the other error I noted) that the rest of the spreadsheet is accurate right? We should all just believe it? Shouldn't we?

And 30 seconds in I find a mistake :-)

Table 3, BB connection access technology table...

2014 to 2015 Fibre Optic connections went from 46000 to 105000 Or, in the percentage table below... Went from 1 to 5 percent...

The correct numbers (assuming the number of connections are right) are 2.4% to 5.45%

I think they apply the random rounding by 3 to the counts and percentages independently.

Those of you that use the ISP survey from Stats NZ might like to know

nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Jay Daley that the’ve reissued it, silently, following discovery of discrepancies between this release and previous releases for historical data. Basically they re-ran the random rounding for historical data and got different random values from before. This is now fixed and the latest spreadsheet is consistent with previous ones.
