FTTx)’ fixed broadband lines in Table 16: Summary of residential and small business broadband connections at end of quarter (000's) has been restated.

FTTx)’ broadband connections were overstated by c.230k (0.8% and 1.2% respectively).

Children’s and Parents' Media Literacy Tracker 2021
Note: The data tables for the Children’s Media Literacy Survey 2021 – Online behaviours and attitudes (waves 1, 2 and combined) were republished on 23 March 2022 after discovering an error on the base for the following sets of tables:
- Online behaviours and attitudes Wave 1: QP10/QC9 and QP11/QC10, tables 16 and 17
- Online behaviours and attitudes Wave 2: QP11/QC10 and QP12/ QC11, tables 17 and 18
- Online behaviours and attitudes Wave 1 & 2 COMBINED: QP10/QC9 and QP11/QC10, tables 16 and 17
The questions above were mistakenly based as ‘Those whose child aged 3-11 watches or uploads videos on YouTube’ instead of ‘All parents of children aged 3-17’. They have now been re-based and the tables corrected. No other files released as part of the Children’s and Parent’s Media Literacy Tracker are affected.
