This internet speed experience survey asks adults how their main home connection supported everyday tasks during the past seven days. Seven optional questions capture noticeable slowdowns, interruptions, timing, and task impact so you can decide what needs closer investigation.

When to use this internet speed experience survey

A connection can feel slow during one activity and work well for another. Asking only whether someone is satisfied leaves that difference unexplained. SurveyLegend's questionnaire helps you collect a focused account of recent experience; it does not run a speed test or measure download and upload rates.

What the answers help you decide

Use this survey before planning a follow-up interview or a separately consented technical check. Include people whose connection prevented them from completing a task, not just people who finished successfully. If the survey is distributed only online, make a paper or supported response route available so connection problems do not exclude the people you need to hear from.

Seven questions for your internet speed experience survey

Think about your main home internet connection during the past seven days. Report your experience without running a test. All questions are optional. Do not include an address, account number, network name, IP address or private browsing details.

Adapt the internet speed experience survey to your audience

Keep the seven-day window explicit and define which connection respondents should consider if they use more than one. Tailor activity labels to the audience while retaining a no-problem option. Avoid naming a provider as the cause in the invitation; SurveyLegend's leading questions article explains why assumed causes can shape answers. Collect any technical readings through a separate process with clear instructions and consent.

Printable internet speed experience survey

Offer a blank copy through a community meeting or service desk so a poor connection does not prevent participation. Name the authorized reviewer and return point. Review paper answers through that process; they are not automatically imported into online results.

Interpret your internet speed experience survey responses

Separate people with no recent use before comparing slowdown and interruption answers. Review the affected activity and its consequence together: an interrupted call and a delayed download may require different follow-up. Look for reported timing patterns, but do not convert frequency words into hours of downtime. Use comments to add context, following SurveyLegend's open-ended data guidance. Self-reports help choose what to investigate; they do not isolate device, Wi-Fi, website or provider causes.

Alexander Gamero-Garrido's 2015 MIT thesis found “diurnal variation in loading times” (abstract) in the data studied. The broadband performance thesis informs the question about timing. It analyzed measured browsing data from 2013 and 2015; it does not turn these self-reports into measured speed or establish today's network performance.

Frequently asked questions

Does this survey measure internet speed?

No. It records perceived performance and task impact. Measured bandwidth, latency and packet loss require a separate technical test.

Should respondents run a speed test first?

Not for this questionnaire. Asking for a test changes the task. If you need measured results as well, provide a separate protocol and explain how those readings will be used.

Can the answers show which provider caused a problem?

No. These questions do not collect enough technical evidence to establish a cause. Use the reported activity and timing to guide a separate investigation.
