For landlines, Virgin had 19 complaints, eight more than the average, and EE and Sky tied as best performers with five each. In pay TV, Virgin Media generated 17 complaints against an industry average of 6. Broadband complaints per 100,000 customers
The numbers are up from a record low of 10 in Q2 of last year, perhaps in part a consequence of pandemic disruption and the increasing importance of internet access for work, school and entertainment. In good news for the industry overall, the average number of complaints has more than halved over the last decade, from 40 per 100,000 in the first quarter of 2011, to 19 now. The only other provider to beat the industry average was BT, with 15. They've been in the top two positions for the last two years. Sky and EE were the least complained-about providers, generating just seven apiece. Industry-wide, faults, service and provisioning issues accounted for 42% of reports, followed by complaints handling and billing. A third complained about faults and issues with the service, and a further 13% about billing problems. The biggest reason why customers complained to Ofcom about Virgin Media was failings in the broadband provider's own complaints handling system - amounting to 39% in total. They also racked up the highest complaint levels for their landline service (19 per 100,000) and their pay TV service (17 per 100,000), and were second worst for mobile (5 per 100,000) behind Three. Plusnet also generated complaint levels above the industry average.Īnd that's not the end of the bad news for Virgin Media. Vodafone had been the worst ranking provider in six of the last seven quarters. That puts them a long way ahead - or should that be behind - the next two worst performers, with Vodafone and TalkTalk both getting 24 complaints. It shows that Virgin Media generated 33 complaints per 100,000 customers, an increase of 20 in just a year. The report covers January to March this year, and counted the number of complaints made to Ofcom about providers with a market share of 1.5% or more. The company has rocketed to the top of the list as the major broadband supplier that gets the highest rate of complaints. Ofcom's latest figures on broadband complaints are out - and it's bad news for Virgin Media.
