Last year 19% decided to take their business elsewhere due to poor service, while others (15%) made a conscious decision to spend less with a brand in future. All of this can be costly to businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The study claims that companies from across multiple sectors (energy, retail, telecoms etc.) missed out on an estimated total of \u00a337 billion due to the impact of poor service in 2016, with complaints about telecoms services (broadband, phone and mobile) accounting for <strong>\u00a32.98 billion<\/strong> of the total.<\/p>\n<p>Disillusionment is also said to be &#8220;<em>rife in sectors where consumers have limited choice in supplier, or have been tied into lengthy contracts<\/em>&#8220;, such as Rail, where people usually only have no choice in provider, and Telecommunications, where contracts are often long-term (up to a limit of 24 months). Some 18% of telecoms consumers said they were resigned to poor service.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Report Extract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Poor experiences of complaining to a company can leave many feeling helpless, and puts them off raising issues in future. One in seven (14%) said they feel disillusioned with business, and don\u2019t feel complaining will have any real impact, while 17 per cent of those who had an issue did nothing about it because they had complained previously and nothing improved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall the most common sectors for complaints were Retail (24% &#8211; 13.1 million), Telecoms (13% &#8211; 6.9 million), Energy (10% &#8211; 5.5 million) and Public Transport (7% &#8211; 4 million). However the good news is that telecoms related complaints have seen a sharp reduction from the 8.3 million reported during 2015, when the sector accounted for 16% of the total.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2017-uk-internet-statistics\/complaints_by_sector_2016.png\" alt=\"complaints by sector 2016\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The national UK telecoms regulator requires that all broadband ISPs become members of an <strong>Alternative Dispute Resolution<\/strong> (ADR) scheme.
