From customer satisfaction and churn prevention to 5G adoption and competitive intelligence, Galloway Research Service delivers telecommunications market research that helps carriers, broadband providers, and cable companies retain subscribers, improve service, and capture growth.

Industry Context

The Telecom Industry Runs on Customer Experience

In telecommunications, where products and networks are increasingly commoditized, customer experience is the primary competitive differentiator. Carriers that understand and act on subscriber feedback outperform those that compete on price alone. Research provides the voice of the customer that drives retention and growth.

Our Capabilities

Telecom Market Research Capabilities

We bring deep telecommunications industry expertise and diverse methodologies to every research challenge, from large-scale satisfaction tracking to qualitative exploration of the subscriber experience.

Customer Satisfaction & NPS

Comprehensive satisfaction measurement programs for wireless carriers, broadband providers, and cable companies. We design and field transactional and relationship surveys that measure satisfaction across every touchpoint, from network quality and billing to customer service and retail experience. Our programs track NPS, CSAT, and customer effort to identify improvement opportunities.

Churn Prevention Research

Research that identifies the drivers of customer churn and the interventions that prevent it. We study why customers switch carriers, what triggers consideration of alternatives, and which retention offers are most effective. Our churn research combines survey data with behavioral insights to build predictive models of at-risk customers.

Network & Service Quality Research

Understanding consumer perceptions of network quality, coverage, speed, and reliability. We measure how service quality perceptions influence satisfaction, loyalty, and switching behavior. Our research helps carriers identify network quality gaps and prioritize infrastructure investments based on customer impact.

Device & Plan Research

Research covering device preferences, upgrade behavior, plan selection, and pricing sensitivity. We study how consumers evaluate smartphones, tablets, and connected devices, and how they choose between wireless plans, data packages, and bundled offerings. This research supports product marketing and pricing strategy.

5G & Technology Adoption

Measuring consumer awareness, understanding, and intent for 5G and emerging telecom technologies. We study adoption barriers, willingness to pay for enhanced services, and the use cases that drive consumer interest in next-generation connectivity including fixed wireless, IoT, and edge computing.

Contact Center & Service Research

Evaluating the customer service experience across channels including call centers, retail stores, online self-service, and chat. We conduct mystery calling, service interaction evaluation, and post-contact surveys that measure resolution effectiveness, agent performance, and channel preferences.
