Ofcom<\/a>’s newest Q3 2018 UK consumer complaints report has revealed that, for the first time, ISP Vodafone<\/a> attracted the most gripes for fixed line broadband and landline phone services, while Sky Broadband<\/a> won praise for seeing the fewest moans. Pay TV and Mobile providers are also covered.<\/p>\n

The report states that the overall level of consumer satisfaction with communications services is 87% for landline phone, 80% for broadband and 91% for mobile. However, Ofcom<\/a> said they continued to receive “nearly<\/em>” 300 consumer contacts per day during Q3 2018 (unchanged from Q2) and most of those resulted in complaints, although their study only includes feedback from the largest ISPs (i.e. those with a market share of at least 1.5%).<\/p>\n

The data itself is reflected as a proportion of residential subscribers (i.e. the total number of quarterly complaints per 100,000 customers), which makes it easier to compare providers in a market where the largest ISPs can vary significantly in size. Overall the total volume of complaints across all service sectors has risen slightly since Q2 2018.<\/p>\n

Jane Rumble, Ofcom<\/a>’s Director of Consumer Policy, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“With so much competition in telecoms and TV services, companies that are falling short need to make service quality and complaints handling their priority. Customers who aren\u2019t happy with their provider can shop around and vote with their feet.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today’s report only covers complaints that the regulator itself has received and not those sent directly to an ISP or ombudsman. Ofcom does not itself deal with individual complaints but they do monitor them and can take action if enough people inform them of a problem.<\/p>\n

Consumers who are unable to resolve a complaint with their provider can (after 8 weeks) raise a case with one of the two ombudsman operators – Ombudsman Services: Communications<\/strong> or CISAS<\/strong> – under the Alternative Dispute Resolution<\/a> process. The ADR handler can then investigate the issue at no cost to yourself.<\/p>\n

Fixed Line Home Broadband Complaints<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The biggest news this quarter is the inclusion of Vodafone<\/a> into Ofcom’s rankings (i.e. they now have over 500,000 fixed broadband customers and are one of the cheapest ISPs), which is notable because they also generated the highest volume of complaints. Apparently their main complaint drivers stemmed from gripes about changing provider (switching), which was followed by complaints handling and faults.<\/p>\n

The Post Office has also entered the table for the first time but they scored well below the industry average (volume of complaints), which in this case is a positive result. Meanwhile Sky Broadband<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a> continued to be the least complained about of the big boys.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Vodafone<\/a> told ISPreview.co.uk that they were the “fastest growing<\/em>” provider in the UK and have “unfortunately seen some issues with the signing on process and this is reflected in the complaints data<\/em>.” However the ISP claims to have “put in place a plan to make the switching process as easy as possible, including setting up a new \u2018Easy Switch’ team.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Fixed Line Phone Complaints<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The story for landline phone providers was much the same as fixed line broadband. Vodafone entered Ofcom’s table at the top of the naughty boys club and generated most complaints due faults, service and provision issues. Interestingly the Post Office saw their complaint levels fall away to below the industry average (volume), which is a positive result.<\/p>\n

However the biggest increase in quarterly complaints actually came from Plusnet<\/a>, which we strongly suspect may be due to their migration on to a new billing platform (caused lots of problems). Elsewhere Sky Broadband<\/a> and EE<\/a> continued to attract the fewest complaints overall.<\/p>\n

\"ofcom_fixed_line_phone_complaints_q3_2018\"<\/p>\n

Mobile Complaints<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

On the mobile front only BT<\/a> saw a sizeable increase in complaints this quarter, while Virgin Mobile (Virgin Media<\/a>) continued to be the most complained about operator (main complaint drivers were issues related to complaints handling, followed by billing, prices and charges and changing provider).<\/p>\n

\"ofcom_mobile_complaints_q3_2018\"<\/p>\n

Pay TV Complaints<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Finally, Virgin Media<\/a> and BT<\/a> both saw a significant surge in complaints against their Pay TV services during Q3, although Virgin was overall the most complained about TV provider (main complaint drivers were contract issues, followed by complaints handling, and billing, pricing and charge issues). Meanwhile Sky TV generated the fewest gripes.<\/p>\n
