MVNOs customers more likely to recommend their operator

TalkTalk customers are the least likely to be satisfied with their broadband service, while mobile subscribers are generally happy with their level of service, according to Ofcom’s latest satisfaction survey.

The regulator’s research discovered that 93 per cent of consumers are happy with the level of service they receive from their mobile operator – up from 91 per cent last year – and just three per cent are unhappy.

However Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) perform better than their larger rivals. Giffgaff and Tesco Mobile customers are more likely to have above-average satisfaction rates and to recommend the service to a friend.

Another MVNO, Sky Mobile, entered the rankings for the first timer and received below-average levels of complaints. This means Sky received the lowest total across all four communications markets – mobile phone, broadband, landline and television.

Satisfaction with the quality of reception is increasing across the board, with mobile operators investing billions into their infrastructure. Complaint levels fell by 15 per cent over the past 12 months, with Ofcom receiving 17 per 100,000 people

In the broadband market, 83 per cent of customers are satisfied (up from 80 per cent last year) and 13 per cent had a reason to complain (down from 15 per cent). However only half of all people are satisfied with the manner that their grievance is resolved.

TalkTalk finished below the industry average on several metrics, including satisfaction, likelihood of recommendation and how their complaint is handled. In total, broadband complaints declined by 23 per cent last year from 75 per 100,000 to 58.

“Shabby service can be more than just frustrating; it can have a big impact on people and small businesses who rely on being connected,” said Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom’s Consumer Group Director.

“When you’re shopping around for a phone or broadband service, quality can be just as important as price. This information can help buyers make the right decision.”

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
