Ofcom has published its latest complaints data, revealing the major telecoms and pay TV providers that it receives the most complaints about. This report only includes complaints that have been made directly to Ofcom, so it differs from the recent customer service survey that contacted consumers and asked for their feedback.
The quarterly report, which covers July to September 2012, is the regulator’s seventh such publication. As with the previous report, complaints about mobile phone services are now being classified as ‘pay monthly’ and ‘pay as you go’ (pre-pay) customers - and the number of ‘pay as you go’ complaints is currently too low to be statistically valid.
Ofcom received the most ‘pay monthly’ mobile phone complaints from T-Mobile customers during the period - 0.17 complaints per 1,000 customers - while O2 was the least complained about mobile provider with 0.05 complaints per 1,000 customers. Overall, T-Mobile, Three UK, Orange and Vodafone all generated an above-average level of complaints.
TalkTalk generated the most landline complaints during the quarter, the most fixed-line broadband complaints came from Orange customers and Ofcom received the most pay TV complaints about BT Vision.
