Virgin Media have asked us to find out out about Mumsnetters' internet habits, as well as internet safety for your DCs.
Virgin Media say "At Virgin Media we know that the online world offers loads of opportunities for kids to have fun, explore and learn new things. But there might also be some things that you’d rather your child didn’t see or do. The web's packed with fun and informative stuff for your kids to explore but, just like in the real world, there are things we all need to watch out for. Experts say that much of what you know about parenting in the real world also applies online, and at the end of the day, you know your kids best! So, we'd love to hear about how you and your children use the internet"
Below are a few points to get you started, but feel free to add any other comments you have:
- How do you help your DC(s) be responsible and stay safe in the real world? Can this be applied online?
- How do you help your DC(s) make the most of the online world, and become a safe and responsible user(s) of the internet?
- Last time you were choosing your broadband and TV services, how did you make your decision? Was it based on things like recommendations from friends or family, or reviews? Did you buy online, over the phone or go into a store?
- How important is the speed of internet in your household? Do you know what your broadband speeds allows you? What do you know about fibre optic broadband?
Please note, Virgin Media may use your comments on social media and elsewhere, so please only comment if you're happy with this.
Everyone who adds a comment to this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad Air (Space Grey, 16GB and Wi-Fi enabled).
Thanks, and good luck!
