Vodafone is UK's most-complained about mobile, broadband and landline provider

Vodafone has been named as the UK's most-complained about mobile provider, with the company also receiving the same unwanted accolade in the landline and broadband categories.

According to Ofcom’s latest figures, Vodafone saw 7 complaints per 100,000 customers, well above the industry average of 4. Sky, Three, iD Mobile, O2 and EE also scored below average with BT (5) and Virgin Media (7) scoring above.

Tesco Mobile is once again the UK’s least-complained about mobile operator, with the industry seeing just 1 complaint per 100,000 users.

Ofcom complaints

“It’s also never been easier to switch your service. So companies that don’t prioritise great service could see customers leaving them for ones that do.”

In broadband, the industry average was 14 complaints per 100,000 subscribers – Vodafone received 26. Plusnet and TalkTalk also fared poorly with 22 each, while BT scored 13. EE and Sky both received the fewest (5).

Ofcom said issues with faults, service and provisioning issues were common drivers of complaints for Vodafone.

The industry average for landline complaints was 10. Here Vodafone (18), TalkTalk (17) and Plusnet (17) also struggled, as did Virgin Media (16). EE was the least-complained about, generating just 16 complaints per 100,000.

Ofcom monitors complaint levels for any provider with a market share of 1.5 per cent or above. The idea is that consumers can make more informed decisions when choosing a landline, broadband, mobile or Pay-TV service, giving providers an incentive to improve.

“People have never had more choice in the phone and broadband markets,” said Fergal Farragher, Ofcom’s Director of Consumer Policy.

Raising a family is not an easy job, and the women who care for us each and every day deserve to be told how special they are each and every day. While we tend to forget to do that, Mother’s Day reminds us we need to celebrate the women in our lives, whether they’re our own mothers or our wives and partners helping us raise the young ones. Mother’s Day 2020 is fast approaching (with under two weeks to go), and there’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to take her out to her favourite restaurant this year, or even get to a store to shop for something she might like.

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...
