  13. COMPARABILITY: “On a scale from 0 to 10, how difficult or easy was it to compare services in a specific market?”

  14. TRUST: "On a scale from 0 to 10, to what extent do you trust suppliers to respect the rules and regulations protecting consumers?"

  15. PROBLEMS: "Within the past <x>year(s), did you experience any problem with the services you paid for, either with the service or the provider, where you thought you had a legitimate cause for complaint?”

  16. COMPLAINTS: "Have you complained about any of these problems?" Consumers most likely to complain to service provider and, secondly, to family and friends. Complaints to third parties remain rare.

  17. OVERALL SATISFACTION: "On a scale from 0 to 10, to what extent did the services on offer from different suppliers live up to what you wanted within <the past period>?"

  18. CHOICE: "On a scale from 0 to 10, would you say there are enough different suppliers of the services you can choose from?"

  19. SWITCHING: "For <services>, have you switched <tariff plan> or <supplier> in <the past period>?" Across the 14 markets, 14% of consumers have switched. In general, consumers are more likely to switch provider (9%) than the service with the same provider (5%).

  20. EASE OF SWITCHING: "On a scale from 0 to 10, how difficult or easy <do you think it was/was it> to switch <the past period>?" Consumers who have actually switched their supplier perceive switching as easier, especially in the market for mortgages and the three insurance markets.
