Brand analysis
T-Mobile has added +2 to its Overall Effort Score this wave, but that has not been quite enough to wrench back the top spot from Vodafone.
The score increase is reflected by gains across all four component pillars. Style of Communication, Knowledge & Expertise and Speed of Resolving Problems are up by +2, while Valuing the Customer has added +1 wave on wave.
T-Mobile has empowered its customer service team to offer a $10 monthly credit for six months in a bid to stop customers switching carriers. The initiative has only just started, so we will be paying close attention to the Valuing the Customer pillar in Q4’s scores.
Earlier this year, T-Mobile completed the acquisition of US fiber provider Lumos, alongside EQT, to expand its broadband offering. The brand is investing $950m to fuel the expansion of Lumos' fiber-to-the-home network.
