Ofcom publishes its latest UK mobile network complaints data

Ofcom has published its eighth quarterly report that show the level of complaints for telephone, broadband and pay TV services, covering the three months until the end of 2012. The proportion of complaints about fixed-line phone, broadband, ‘pay as you go’ mobile phone and pay TV services decreased, although there was a slight increase in the proportion of ‘pay monthly’ mobile phone complaints.

The most ‘pay monthly’ mobile complaints to Ofcom came from Orange customers - 0.21 per 1,000 customers - driven by the company’s decision to withdraw a free fixed-line broadband offer for mobile phone customers. Next came T-Mobile, with most of its complaints covering billing and complaint handling.

O2, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone all had fewer complaints than the industry average, with O2 at the bottom of the list: 0.06 complaints per 1,000 customers.

‘Pay as you go’ complaint figures haven’t been reported, as the low number of complaints meant the results wouldn’t be statistically valid.

TalkTalk generated the most fixed-line phone complaints during the quarter, although the figure had fallen from the previous quarter, and Orange generated the most broadband complaints. BT Vision topped the Pay TV complaint list.

Claudio Pollack, Director of Ofcom’s Consumer Group, said “It’s encouraging to see a continuing decline in the total volume of complaints, and we hope these figures will incentivise providers to further improve their performance. We’re committed to providing consumers with valuable information to help them choose a provider that best suits their needs.”

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
