Vodafone drew a score of 5.94, cable operator R has 5.54, whilst Orange had 5.21 and Telecable hit 5.09.
In fixed broadband alone, Vodafone led with 7.75, followed by Movistar 7.61 and Euskaltel both with 7.58. In mobile broadband, Movistar and Euskaltel lead the market with 6.41 and 6.23 respectively.
In user complaints, Vodafone drew the most with 6.86 per cent of subscribers unhappy with their service, three times more than Movistar with 1.91 per cent. Overall, Vodafone takes 111 hours on average to repair a breakdown versus Movistar’s 37 hours.
