Introduction

Abstract

Service providers should take two different approaches to assessing their service portfolio: product-driven and consumer-driven.

This Report explores results from our Connected Consumer Survey that relate to the behaviour and preferences of fixed broadband customers. It was conducted in September and October 2011 across Europe and the USA.

This Report provides:

  • an insight into how the roll-out of LTE has had an impact on consumer perceptions of fixed broadband compared with mobile broadband
  • suggestions for how converged operators can take advantage of the 37% of fixed broadband subscribers who do not currently take mobile broadband but are interested in, or actively intend to, take the service
  • the identity of some of the most (and least) successful service providers in our survey countries, in terms of customer satisfaction
  • advice on how customer care, as well as service bundling, can help service providers to improve their customer retention
  • suggestions for how service providers can look at their relationship with their customers from different points of view
  • steps for identifying how fixed broadband propositions could be tailored to increase engagement with gamers, music-lovers, and heavy video watchers.

  • 21. Fixed versus mobile - bundling, competing and the impact of LTE
  • 22. Mobile broadband should be considered an opportunity for fixed players in many markets, rather than a threat
  • 23. Consumers consider mobile broadband to be inferior - the impact of LTE may be slow to take effect in most markets
  • 24. Consumers confirm that fixed - mobile bundling could incentivise them to take up mobile broadband
  • 25. Customer retention and satisfaction
  • 26. Consumers reward a high fixed broadband quality of experience and are becoming more likely to abandon unsatisfactory providers
  • 27. Operator-by-operator satisfaction levels indicate some of the factors that appear to affect overall customer satisfaction [1]
  • 28. Operator-by-operator satisfaction levels indicate some of the factors that appear to affect overall customer satisfaction [2]
  • 29. The most important factor for fixed broadband is not speed, reliability or even price - it is customer service
  • 30. Service providers must focus on each of the many different aspects of customer interaction in order to improve overall customer service
  • 31. Fixed broadband intention to churn is broadly declining, except in Spain
  • 32. Identifying churn hotspots: younger consumers drive churn
  • 33. Triple-play customers have the lowest intention to churn, but that of quadruple-play customers is improving year-on-year
  • 34. Customer priorities change throughout their 'customer lifetime', and the relative importance of price and access speed is also shifting
  • 35. Dimensioning the digital home - identifying and executing the appropriate up-sell
