As usual the news is good for some providers (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>) and bad for others (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s\u00a0report typically\u00a0focuses on the market&#8217;s biggest providers, specifically those that hold an overall\u00a0customer market share of at least 1.5%. The complaints themselves are reported per 1,000 subscribers, thus providers described as generating the most or fewest complaints do so in relative terms (proportional to the others).<\/p>\n<p>Overall the regulator claims\u00a0to receive an average of\u00a0just under 300 telecoms related complaints\u00a0per day from consumers, although it&#8217;s worth pointing out that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> itself does not tackle individual gripes (this is the responsibility of the\u00a0providers and external ADR complaints handlers &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/new\/complain\/official_isp_complaints_handlers.php\" target=\"_blank\">more information<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> can take action if a particular trend is spotted, which can result in providers being forced to pay a significant fine and or to amend their service practices. One recent example of this occurred when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> was fined \u00a31 million for failing to comply with the regulator&#8217;s rules for handling consumer complaints\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/07\/ee-uk-fined-gbp1-million-for-shoddy-customer-complaints-handling.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The Results<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s little surprise to find that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> are still top of the worst for <strong>fixed broadband connections<\/strong> with a score of 0.45 per 1,000 customers in Q2 2015, although that&#8217;s down from 0.51 last quarter. Problems relating to faults, service and provision (40%), billing, pricing and charges (20%) and complaints handling (20%) were the main drivers of complaints about EE, but they have recently pledged to do better (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/09\/ee-uk-attempts-to-reverse-poor-broadband-customer-service-record.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise most of the ISPs showed an improvement over the previous quarter, except <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> that increased slightly from 0.26 in Q1 to 0.27 now and that&#8217;s well above the industry average of 0.16 per 1,000 customers.
