Customer satisfaction scores methodology
We asked streaming account holders to score their satisfaction with the service they had received from their primary platform, and also whether they would recommend the service to a friend. Our independent survey of 750 mortgage holders was carried out in December 2023 – full details of our methodology here.
We have shown both results for the brands listed in the table above, and used these ratings to decide the winners of our awards (where there was a draw on the star ratings score, we used the “would recommend” percentage as a tie-breaker).
