* Original survey question: "In what way does your household connect to the internet? - using a dial-up connection, for example via telephone line or ISDN. - Through a broadband connection, such as via television cable, telephone line (ADSL or VDSL), fiber, satellite or hotspot. - With a mobile connection, via a mobile phone, smartphone or a dongle"

Moreover, the source notes that in general a lot of respondents reply with 'don't know' answers for this survey question. The source states: "Therefore households are asked if they have an 'all in one' package."

The definition of broadband internet according to the source: "A charged fixed internet connection such as ADSL, cable (fiber) or mobile phone connection of 3G or higher, such as UMTS or a SIM card or USB key, or if the respondents have an 'all in one' package. Lastly, any remaining unknown answers about the availability of a broadband internet connection are being verified by the activities of the respondents on the internet."
