A new survey from home & mobile broadband provider O2<\/a> has revealed that the British public would rather cut back on their food bills than reduce the amount they pay for their broadband access.<\/p>\n

The O2 Digital Families survey found that out of the 500 families who were questioned, 67% could not contemplate spending less on their broadband bills during the recession, compared to 24% who wouldn’t cut their food shop.<\/p>\n

Another surprising statistic revealed that 66% said that they wouldn\u2019t mind splashing out on new gadgets if they were at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

We strongly believe that technology has a hugely positive role to play in helping families better manage their hectic lives, but also ultimately in being able to spend more time together.\u201d<\/p>\n
