Can ISPs ever overcome a bad reputation?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This poll helps to illustrate the vital importance of quality and reputation. It also asked which provider consumers would pick if they could have ANY broadband service from only the UK&#8217;s largest six ISPs, which saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> come out on top with 30.5% of the vote and Orange UK (Everything Everywhere) hit rock bottom at just 1.4%.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>If you could have ANY broadband service from only the big six ISPs, who would you pick?<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> &#8211; 30.5%<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> &#8211; 20%<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know &#8211; 17.5%<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a> &#8211; 14.5%<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> &#8211; 10.7%<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> &#8211; 5.2%<br \/>\nOrange UK\u00a0&#8211; 1.4%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you sacrifice some quality for a cheaper price when choosing a new ISP?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8211; 78.3%<br \/>\nYes &#8211; 21.6%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you ever return to an ISP that you previously had problems with?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8211; 63.6%<br \/>\nNot Sure (Possibly) &#8211; 29.2%<br \/>\nYes &#8211; 7.1%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Both of the bottom two providers, Orange UK (Everything Everywhere) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>, have over the past few years suffered from a mix of well publicised service problems and significant fixed line broadband subscriber declines. For example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> recently named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> the <strong>ISP with most complaints<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2012\/06\/ofcom-uk-names-talktalk-most-complained-broadband-isp.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), while the same study\u00a0revealed <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> as having the lowest volume of consumer complaints.<\/p>\n<p>The survey appears to highlight the difficulty of rebuilding an <strong>embattled consumer reputation<\/strong> and further suggests that some providers might continue to face challenges in the future, especially with so many consumers being unwilling to give problematic services a second chance. It&#8217;s perhaps no coincidence that the two lowest rated ISPs are also among the UK&#8217;s cheapest. But such situations do not have to be terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Many well known brands have gone through periods of deep instability (e.g. <em>Apple<\/em>) and managed to come out smelling of roses. The key is to offer something that consumers really want, at least part of which usually involves being able to find the right balance between quality and price. Consumers are perhaps also more likely to stick with ISPs that remain competitive and reward them by sharing beneficial service or price changes.<\/p>\n<p>This month\u2019s new survey asks what minimum real-world broadband speed do you CURRENTLY require for your needs and whether or not you already receive it? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/polls\/_polls.cgi\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Vote Here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results from 1068 respondents to ISPreview.co.uk&#8217;s latest monthly web-based survey has revealed that 63.6% would never return to a broadband ISP that had previously caused them problems and 78.3% are now unwilling to sacrifice quality for a cheaper price.
