The United Kingdom’s communications regulator, Ofcom<\/a>, has today published their annual study of consumer satisfaction with fixed line broadband, phone, pay TV and mobile providers, which is based on feedback received from around 6,000 consumers who were interviewed as part of the research. Overall it’s good news for Sky Broadband<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a>, but less so for the others.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As usual Ofcom<\/a>’s survey, which noted that overall satisfaction with fixed line phone and broadband services had increase ever so slightly, only examined the markets largest 4 \u2013 6 providers and is thus not a full reflection of the industry. However we are a little disappointed to see that TalkTalk<\/a> and BT<\/a> weren’t included in the table of Pay TV providers, which appears to be because of insufficient data (despite both having over 1 million subscribers!)<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> said the inclusion criteria for this year\u2019s data capture\u00a0was adjusted. The new criteria specifies that in order to qualify for inclusion in the report, providers need to have at least 4% market share and achieve a minimum sample of 35 respondents at Stage 1 of data collection. BTTV, TalkTalkTV, EE<\/a> broadband and Tesco Mobile<\/a> were excluded on the basis that insufficient sample was achieved at Stage 1.<\/p>\n

Never the less it’s worth taking a look, not least since most consumers tend to pick from the big boys club.<\/p>\n

Amazingly Sky was the only landline provider to have increased its overall customer service satisfaction score since 2013 (up 10 percentage points), which puts them well above the rest with Virgin Media<\/a> closest on 72%. Ofcom’s separate consumer complaints report also tends to highlight Sky and Virgin as receiving the fewest broadband and phone gripes. Meanwhile TalkTalk<\/a> seems to have gone downhill again.<\/p>\n

Happily both Sky and Virgin saw a big boost on the broadband front, which follows on from their success in the fixed line phone market above, meanwhile TalkTalk was stable and BT went into a small decline. Connection speed was the main reason for broadband customers contacting their ISPs customer services department (19% of contacts).<\/p>\n
