Customer satisfaction research
Fieldwork: July - August 2016
22
Background and methodology
Background and methodology• The Switching Tracker is Ofcom's key data source on switching levels, attitudes and experiences across the
communications markets (landline, mobile, fixed broadband and multi-channel/Pay TV). Since 2007 Ofcom has run this
tracking study among UK adults (decision makers in each market) to measure participation levels, switching incidence
and ease of switching, as well as satisfaction levels in each market.
• We have moved from RDD telephone interviewing (2014 and prior), through an interim year (2015) where interviewing
was split to achieve half by telephone and half face-to-face, to conduct all of the interviewing in 2016 face-to-face (2576
interviews).
• Fieldwork took place in July – August 2016. Questions are asked up front to establish household ownership of landline,
fixed broadband, TV service and mobile phone. For each service, the questionnaire established whether the respondent
is the decision maker. Questions of the decision maker also established whether any of the household’s services are in a
bundle or package from the same supplier.
• On completion of the interviews, weighting is applied for each section (i.e. each of the above markets) of the survey
using profiles from our Communications Tracking Survey.
• Throughout the chart pack indicates significant decrease, indicates significant increase at 99% confidence level,
compared to 2015 and indicates a significantly lower score, indicates a significantly higher score at 99%
confidence level compared to the total market.
• The data tables can be found at: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/95524/Switching-Tracker-2016-
