  • “N/A” indicates that the telecom service provider does not offer hotline or live chat for consumers to provide feedback. 
  • Figures are rounded off to 2 decimal places, except those in percentages. For example, a result of 0.00 complaint per 10,000 subscribers does not necessarily reflect no complaint for a particular service in that month.

Notes: 

1 For the purpose of this report, the term “complaint” is defined as any expression of dissatisfaction with a telecom service that requires follow up by the service provider.

2 This measures the time between the moment a consumer chooses to speak to a customer service officer and the moment the officer responds. Where both hotline and live chat are offered by a telecom service provider, the average waiting time for hotline would be reflected. 

3 Fixed line services include standalone fixed line services and digital voice services provided together with broadband subscription. 

4 For the avoidance of doubt, the actual figure is not zero. It is a figure which only shows up at or after the third decimal point.
