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?

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