Ofcom would not simply take a look at broadband with the workforce additionally testing Landline, Mobile and Pay-TV complaints as properly.

If you need the best Landline, Utility Warehouse wins with simply 1 criticism per 100,000. At the opposite finish of the Landline desk is EE and TalkTalk who each rating 8 complaints per 100,000.

The best Pay-TV is Sky with simply 2 complaints per 100,000. Virgin Media got here out backside on this catagory with the worst rating of all content material suppliers.

Vodafone and Tesco each got here out on high for Mobile with these suppliers each getting the fewest complaints.

According to Ofcom, complaints about fixed broadband and pay-TV elevated, and complaints about landline and cellular stayed the identical, which clearly exhibits that service suppliers need to improve.

Speaking in regards to the new stats, Natalie Hitchins, Which? Head of Home Products and Services, stated: “These findings highlight just how many broadband and mobile firms are continuing to fall short of their customers’ expectations.

“Year after 12 months, our analysis exhibits that smaller suppliers are outshining the largest broadband and cellular companies and out-of-contract clients who swap may make vital financial savings. On average, out-of-contract TV and broadband clients may save £160 by switching and cellular clients may save £67.

“Any telecoms customers who are nearing the end of their contract and are unhappy with their current provider, or could stand to make savings, should not hesitate to vote with their feet and move to a different provider.”
