As usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> takes a beating, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> win praise.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s report focuses on the market&#8217;s biggest providers (i.e. those that hold an overall market share of at least 1.5%) and on average they receive nearly 300 telecoms complaints a day from consumers. Related gripes are likely to be made where a consumer has been unable to resolve an issue with their provider and sadly we don&#8217;t get any visibility of the complaints made to the ISPs themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Providers can of course vary in size and so the regulator publishes complaints as a proportion of residential subscribers, which makes it easier to compare. Interestingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> has tweaked how it performs this calculation and now reports complaints per 100,000 customers, while prior updates reported per 1,000 subscribers. The reason for this change is not clear, although it does produce an easier to understand figure.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The Results<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As usual we&#8217;ll start with the latest complaints for the biggest<strong> fixed line broadband<\/strong> ISPs, which once again finds that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> received the most gripes (45 complaints per 100,000 customers); albeit largely unchanged from the previous quarter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>&#8217;s complaints were dominated by problems related to faults, service and provision (40%); billing, pricing and charges (20%); and complaints handling (19%).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Claudio Pollack, Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s Consumer Group, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We expect providers to make customer service and complaints handling top priorities, so it\u2019s disappointing to see a rise in the number of complaints. Consumers have a right to expect good service and will rightfully complain when that standard isn\u2019t met.

For example, EE had been attracting the most complaints for the past few quarters, but in Q3 2015 we suddenly see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/plusnetuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlusNet<\/a> shoot to 33 complaints per 100,000 customers (one below EE&#8217;s score of 34).<\/p>\n<p>The main complaint drivers for EE&#8217;s landline customers were concerns about faults, service and provision (27%); problems changing provider (26%); and complaints handling (19%). By comparison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/plusnetuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlusNet<\/a>&#8217;s complaints surge has been driven by issues around faults, service and provision (30%); billing, pricing and charges (21%); and changing provider and complaints handling (both 19%).<\/p>\n<p>Once again we see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> enjoying their position as the providers that attract the markets least complaints, at least in terms of the big players.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2015-internet-statistics\/fixed_line_phone_complaints_q3_2015.gif\" alt=\"fixed_line_phone_complaints_q3_2015\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the <strong>mobile network operator<\/strong> front, we see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> has attracted a sharp rise and received 20 complaints per 100,000 customers. Most of the gripes against them relate to billing, pricing and charges (37%); complaints handling (28%); and concerns around faults, service and provision (17%).<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tescomobile\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tesco Mobile<\/a> have continued along a fairly steady path by attracting the fewest complaints, with both Talk Mobile and Virgin Mobile also seeing fewer gripes against their service and managing to duck below the industry average.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2015-internet-statistics\/mobile_complaints_q3_2015.gif\" alt=\"mobile_complaints_q3_2015\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Finally we come to <strong>Pay TV<\/strong> services and it&#8217;s disappointing to report that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s previous downward trend (fewer complaints) has suddenly been reversed, with complaint volumes increasing significantly to 25 per 100,000 customers (up from 11 per 100,000 in Q2 2015).<\/p>\n<p>The main reasons for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s rising complaints were linked to fault, service and provision issues (31%); complaints handling (25%); and issues relating to billing, pricing and charges (22%).
