Why we publish these complaints

As the UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom receives complaints from customers about their landline, broadband, mobile and pay-TV services.

While we cannot deal with individual complaints, compiling these overall complaints helps us to better understand the reasons for customers’ dissatisfaction with their services and the companies that provide them. Also, by publishing these complaints figures we can help consumers to choose the best provider and service for their needs.
