Footnotes:

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.

5 SIMBA’s helpline provides for SIMBA’s Seniors’ Plan customers only and is not a general customer service line.
