CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Nowadays, internet has become unavoidable in our daily life. They can access
figures, information, and knowledge on the internet to aid them with their personal,
social, and economic development. There are many uses of the internet. However, the use
of the internet in our daily life depends on individual requirements and goals. According
to Torsten (2018), management practitioners and scholars alike assume that raises in the
contractual absolute maximum capacity of internet connections are thought to strengthen
consumers' attitudes toward their access provider. The two reference- dependent aspects
comprise customer quality experiences in terms of provided transmission speeds, relative
to maximum down- and upload bandwidths as per customer contract, and relative to
speeds emphasized in marketing by a consumer's access provider. The idea that the
contractual maximum speed is only reached in a small percentage of a customer's internet
sessions reduces customer satisfaction and increases the likelihood of turnover. The
impacts of the two speed assessments are not mutually exclusive: if the experienced share
of Internet sessions with speeds below the contractual maximum bandwidth is significant,
perceived speed exaggerations in a provider's commercials degrade customer bonds less
(more) severely (low). More frequent speed testing diminishes customer bonding,
especially when a customer's provider's quoted speeds are perceived as exaggerated. By
avoiding emphasizing maximum speeds in their advertising, which customers rarely get
under normal everyday conditions, Internet access providers can strengthen their
attitudinal relationships with their clients.

According to global monitoring firm Philippine News Agency (2021),


Philippine's broadband and mobile internet speed is continuing to improve and
Philippines is at the 83rd spot for mobile and 92nd for fixed broadband in a ranking for
140 countries. The country's average download speed for February 2021 surged to 38.46
Mbps fixed broadband and it has increased for about 5.73 Mbps last January. And for
mobile internet it has 26.24 Mbps for the month of February, it increased for about 0.77
Mbps. As stated by Globe (2021), the fastest internet speed of 47.52 Mbps in the
Philippines was provided by Smart Communications. PLDT, formerly the Philippine

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION xii

Long Distance Telephone, with an internet download speed of 41.75 Mbps was the next
fastest internet service provider. Due to lack of network infrastructures the country has
been challenged in the average internet speed over the years. In 2017, Asia Pacific region
among the slowest internet connection speed in the Philippines remains highest average
daily time spent using the internet.

Internet connection service is one of the most significant advances in the previous
decade, even if you don’t recognize it. There are 17,850 mobile phone towers in the
Philippines. According to TowerXchange's (2020), since Philippines have fewer towers,
this has an impact on the overall customer experience. The Philippines has 4,090 users
per tower. This explains why the internet download speed in the Philippines is only 22.5
Mbps. This just goes to show that persistent licensing issues in the past, including rights-
of-way for home broadband, have had a major impact on the state of the nation's internet.
As mentioned by NTC commissioner Córdoba (2021), for the Philippines to be on par
with their countries, the government should start spending on ICT infrastructure,
including the implementation of the national broadband plan, which has been long
overdue.

However, every business industry has different ways to satisfy their customer.
Wi-Fi and Mobile data have been in the business for a long run and up until now. Today,
there's an issue concerning which is the better internet connection given that Wi-Fi and
Mobile data have their own difference when it comes to their speed and a lot more.
According to Bozkurt et al., (2017), data can be transmitted through a network at nearly
the speed of light. However, it is much slower. The data demonstrate that latencies is
often more than one, and frequently more than two orders of magnitude bigger than the
speed of light's lower bound. Closing this gap will not only add value to existing internet
apps, but it might also lead to the creation of fascinating new ones. The Internet's
infrastructural inefficiencies have been revealed to be an under- explored subject. Salac,
R & Kim, Y (2016) stated that, in order to answer the concerns about the Philippines'
growing demand for higher bandwidth. The report about internet connection has
thoroughly investigate, the slow of internet connectivity and the exorbitant cost that end-

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION xiii

users pay for it. Inefficiency reduces users' willingness to innovate in ways that
contribute to inclusive growth and the creation of an inclusive information society.

In accordance with vulnerable concept, the researchers’ objectives are to identify


the determinants of internet connection satisfaction of chosen Grade 12 ABM students at
Our Lady of Fatima University in Pampanga while using Wi-Fi and Mobile Data internet
connection, which are two of the fastest and better internet connection providers in the
Philippines, in line with the presented concept. With this statement, the study aim is to
differentiate the satisfaction of users of the two-internet service provider in order to
determine which is more satisfying for the customers. The purpose of this research is to
discover if Wi-Fi and Mobile Data have difference and similarities with each other. Also,
the researchers aim is to provide better information and understanding to all students in
OLFU. All the statement that are attached in this study, will be based on a thorough
review of the survey that was answered by our chosen respondents. Lastly, this study
aims to help the company to gain more possible factors of opportunities to improve fast
network connection for their brand and to maintain good satisfaction.

The result of this study will be beneficial to both Wi-Fi and Mobile Data service
data providers. Throughout this study, it will enable Wi-Fi and Mobile Data to improve
their existing customer satisfaction program are lacking and need improvement. Thus,
this can result in an increasing number of loyal customers for both companies. Wi-Fi and
Mobile Data will also be beneficial to other business and companies in a way that this
could also help them improve their customer satisfaction program. On the other hand, if
the company doesn’t have any existing customer satisfaction program, the study can be a
guide for them to create one. The study can also help the two companies know the factors
that contribute to why their costumer is being satisfied. Through this, Wi-Fi and Mobile
Data can retain and continue implementing these factors for the company. The study will
also benefit the Grade 12 ABM students of Our Lady of Fatima, by being knowledgeable
about both companies and will provide them the convenience to choose for their
satisfaction. While for future researchers, the study can aid them with relevant
information that they can use in conducting the study. They can cross-examine or
compare the result of their study for better understanding and analysis.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Conceptual Framework

This study is anchored from the understanding the customer satisfaction towards
from they're internet connection. The empirical examination supports the validity of this
integrated framework. This model is expected to provide useful implications for the
customers. Simsim (2011) indicated that, internet is becoming an integral part of the daily
life for many people and it is spreading quickly. Users' preferences for internet access
hours, communication system use for the connection, and technical aspects of the internet
connection are studied among different social categories. Young users were found to use
the internet more frequently for chatting and entertainment than old users. It was
discovered that improving the speed and quality of the internet connection was more
significant than lowering the price of the service. Whereas, satellite system was the most
popular alternative communication technology, but its relatively high cost prevented it
from reaching a wider audience. Thus, internet gives information on the current state of
internet usage, as well as a foundation for businesses and government agencies to
consider in future development and policy formulation. Hanaysha (2017) stated that,
customer satisfaction is one of the major topics that received large attentions from several
scholars and practitioners. Satisfied customers tend to be the driving force for brand
success and building sustainable competitive. Elements affecting customer satisfaction is
of worth importance in order to know the reasons or the factors which are responsible to
create satisfaction among customers for a particular brand. When a brand meets the
requirements and desires of customers, customer satisfaction is established. Although all
of the elements played a role in explaining customer satisfaction, but price had the most
influence (Hanif, Hafeez & Riaz 2010).

Zameer et al. (2015) stated that, customer satisfaction and service quality have a
significant impact on the customer's perceived value. The impact of service quality,
customer satisfaction, and corporate image on customer perceived value provides insight

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION xix

into how the services sector, particularly banks, can improve consumer perceived value
through improving service quality and customer satisfaction.

Internet has grown in popularity as a tool for lifestyle promoting interventions.


However, the actual reach of internet- delivered therapies appears to be lower than
anticipated, and intervention attrition is high in general (Brouwer et al., 2011). Research
by Familmaleki, Aghighi & Hamidi (2015), the effects of sales promotions on buyer
decision-making processes and the effectiveness of customer buying behaviors are linked
to increased consumer purchases and, subsequently, improved profit for the company.

To make sure that customers will remain loyal, companies are working to achieve
high customer satisfaction through improved service quality and better price. The study
of Malik, Ghafoor & Iqbal (2012), are favorable and will help the telecom service
providers to shape their products and pricing policies in such a way that they could
maximize customer satisfaction and maintain their customers in order to achieve higher
market share.

One of the popular services offered to provide speedier services to online users is
used. Customer happiness is a crucial aspect in gaining and maintaining a competitive
edge. Service quality and speed are two aspects that might have an impact on client
satisfaction (Ling et al., 2016).

Foreign Literature

Jajaee (2012), stated that high quality service in the insurance industry has
become an important concern. Companies can gain loyal customers by providing high-

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION xx

quality service and ensuring customer satisfaction. These customers are more likely to
use the service again or recommend it to others. In addition, service quality and customer
satisfaction guarantee profitability for the insurance companies and industry. Therefore,
the SERVQUAL Scale was used to assess the quality of service and customer
satisfaction.

In the service industry, service quality has become one of the most significant
determining variables. Considering various needs and requirements of the customer for
their satisfaction, like any other service provider life insurers always trying to provide
quality of services to their customers in order to satisfy them (Panwar, Kumar & Ray
2016).

As suggested by Caldwell (2012), psychology is one of the main influences on


successful pricing, for some products and services. It indicates how customers perceive
various price points, if it is better to negotiate down from a high starting price, whether
people are willing to pay more for a monthly contract, and how to encourage customers
to pay for the value they are receiving.

Konig et al. (2011), indicated that dissatisfaction with the speed of the internet is
measured by customer satisfaction index (CSI) or the customer satisfaction barometers.
ACSI was used as a foundation for one of the study's main streams. One of the criteria for
firm services and service production is the 21ACSI. The decrease of the customer
satisfaction leads to a massive damage. To improve company services and service, the
ACSI creates a standard index for consumer satisfaction.

As mentioned by Parsons (2017), data travels over the internet at an incredible


speed, but the speed varies. Some internet services are more responsive than others. The
volume of traffic flowing over the connection has an impact on speed. When there is a lot
of traffic, it slows down. Slowdowns can also be caused by broken routers or by hackers
launching denial-of-service assaults that overwhelm server capacity.

Local Literature

Mok, Sparks & Kadampully (2013), analyzed that despite a decade of continuous
emphasis on "service quality," there is still a lack of holistic understanding of what

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION xxi

quality is and how it can be cultivated and controlled. The need for a holistic,
multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary approach to service quality has become critical in
the hospitality industry. Managing service quality has never been more important. HTL
organizations' ultimate goal of keeping a loyal customer base has become obvious in the
scheme of business processes.

According to Praeg (2010), service providers must implement quality


management systems. In view of the numerous aspects of service quality, it's impossible
to attain 'whole' service quality by just maximizing it on an individual level or by looking
at individual dimensions. In all internal and external customer relationships, service
quality refers to a constant quality orientation in service procedures.

When considering the demand for ultra-high-speed bandwidth is mostly limited to


big urban areas where LTE capacity deployment is already underway, constraints in
providing additional spectrum aren't seen as a serious hindrance. While still lagging
behind other countries in the region, the Philippines' internet speeds have been steadily
improving in recent years (Oxford Business Group, 2015).

According to Oxford Business Group (2016), one issue on which everyone in the
sector agrees that internet connection in the country is not fast enough to support the
industry's expansion. As of May 2015, the country's connectivity ranked 21st among 22
Asian countries and 176th overall out of 202 countries. Recognizing that bad internet
connectivity may be deterrent to investors’ confidence in the industry.

Internet rapidly became a primary main business distribution channel. People use
the internet for a variety of transactions. Just like in other countries, in the Philippines,
start-up and existing businesses use the internet as a marketplace for their products and
services. As a result, it focuses on how customers are satisfied or dissatisfied with online
transactions based on important dimensions of service quality in online commerce,
reasons based on gender differences in customer satisfaction, and demographic profile of
respondents (Mamaril, 2012).

The direct and indirect impacts of standardization and customization on customer


satisfaction through service quality (Kasiria et al., 2017). As stated by them, service
quality has two dimensions this are technical quality and functional quality. a service
quality model that includes service quality antecedents. Improved service quality
necessitates the blending of standardization and personalization of service offerings.
When compared to customization, standardization has a greater impact on service quality,
and functional quality has a greater impact on customer satisfaction than technical
quality.

According to Ghezelbash (2015), the impact of price promotions on evaluating


customer quality and repeat buy incentives provides findings that show price promotions
have an impact on product quality, service quality, satisfaction, and repeat purchase
incentives. Customer satisfaction is greatly influenced by product and service quality, and
customer satisfaction has a substantial impact on repeat purchase incentives.

Price fairness and price satisfaction is one the most important fields in pricing and
also in customer satisfaction Nazari, Hosseini & Kalejahi (2014). Suggested that, a
dimensions of price fairness, price satisfaction and customer satisfaction is extracted from
marketing. Customer satisfaction has a direct impact on price satisfaction, and customer
loyalty has a direct impact on price satisfaction. It means that price fairness is an
important component of price satisfaction and customer satisfaction. It's a good idea to
find out how customers feel about price fairness.

Competitive service of speed, convenience, environmental concerns and comfort.


Kuo & Tang (2013) mentioned that a high speed has not only influenced but also played
an important role. Satisfaction had a direct impact on behavior, but service quality and
corporate image played indirect roles. Furthermore, the effect of satisfaction is influenced
by the quality of service provided. This shows that the accessibility of the environment
has an impact on not only the effectiveness and efficiency of service quality, but also the
corporate image.

As indicated by Rian, Saidani & Febrilia (2017), customer satisfaction in Wi-Fi


internet is influenced by service quality, while customer satisfaction in Wi-Fi internet is

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
xxiii

influenced by price. WiFi's service quality and price are both valid and capable of
meeting consumer expectations. Customers who use Wi-Fi have a high level of
satisfaction as well. It may be concluded that customer satisfaction is positively
influenced by service quality, and customer satisfaction is positively influenced by
pricing.

Local Studies

Service quality plays an important role in the success of every organization and
more importantly, in terms of customer satisfaction. Perception and assessment of service
quality given play a crucial role in defining people's quality of life, especially in
developing countries like the Philippines. Furthermore, when it comes to service quality,
moderately satisfied in terms of customer interaction, moderately satisfied in terms of
tangible service equipment, slightly satisfied in terms of operating management support,
very satisfied in terms of service accessibility, and very satisfied in terms of providing
accurate information are all very important (Tindowen, 2018).

As studied by Soriano & Lim (2016), advertisements are one of the most
prominent outputs of the culture industries, and they symbolize and promote mobile
adoption in society. It explores how aspirational marketing strategies define social reality
through a ritualized system of symbolic production to encourage the ritual of mobile
communication and consumption. It focuses on mobile technology specifically because
of its rapid growth in the Global South, as evidenced by its emergence as a primary mode
of telecommunication.

It is important to understand the decision among Filipinos. Products/services,


pricing, consumer, and technology aspects were found to have a substantial impact on
consumer decision-making, which also affect customer satisfaction. Surprisingly,
operational performance did not show to be a strong predictor of decisions and customer
satisfaction. The study's SEM could be useful to e-commerce platforms and businesses,
allowing them to gain a better knowledge of the factors that influence consumer
satisfaction (Prasetyo & Dela Fuente, 2020).

Jopson & Caliso (2016), analyzed that in the advent of broadband technology, the
telecommunications sector now plays a larger role in economic development. Despite the
need for cheaper, faster, and more reliable internet access, the Philippines currently trails
its ASEAN neighbors with an average broadband speed of 3.5 Megabits per second
(Mbps) and a relatively high subscription price of USD 24 per Mbps. Despite the poor
quality of service offered by incumbent operators, the sector remains one of the most
profitable in the country, which proponents attribute to a lack of players in the market,
raising concerns about consumer welfare.

One way to improve customer satisfaction is to improve service quality.


Reliability, assurance, and empathy have a strong relationship in accumulating the
customer's existing needs. The quality of services must serve as eye opener to improve
the already excellent services and must not be a complacent (Chui C.L, Chui J.L &
Matsuimitrchai, 2016).

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In this part of the study, the researchers discussed the research design; research
instrument; population and sampling; ethical consideration; data collection and data
analysis in orderly manner.

Research Design

This research paper used quantitative research design. Quantitative research


gathers a range of numeric data. The collection of quantitative information allows
researchers to conduct simple to extremely sophisticated statistical analyses that
aggregate the data. Quantitative research includes methodologies such as questionnaires,
structured observations or experiments and stands in contrast to qualitative research
(Ahmad, 2019). The researchers used quantitative research design because this is suitable
for the study as it is about the numeric data.

In particular, quantitative research that was used were a combination of


descriptive and comparative study. Descriptive study is a quantitative research method
that attempts to collect quantifiable information for statistical analysis of the population
sample. It is a popular market research tool that allows us to collect and describe the
demographic segment’s nature (Bhat, 2020). The researchers used descriptive study
because this can help the researchers to explore and analyze different variables. Bukhari
(2011) stated that comparative studies are the studies that demonstrate ability to examine,
compare and contrast subjects or ideas. Comparative study shows how two subjects are
similar or shows how two subjects are different. The researchers used comparative study
because they were comparing the customer satisfaction for Wi-Fi and Mobile Data
connection.

Research instruments

In this study, the researchers used survey questionnaire that be formulated though
Google Forms to gather the data that the respondents have shared. Survey questionnaire
become a vital instrument by which method of collecting information, often referred to as
target respondents (Rani, 2012). The respondents of this study are the Grade 12 ABM
Students of Our Lady of Fatima University. The researchers need thirty willing
respondents on this study. The questionnaires were formulated from the supported
research literature and research studies from books and internet. The formulated
questionnaires will consist of determining how the indicators affects the satisfaction of
the respondents on Wi-Fi connection and Mobile Data connection and the respondents
answer will be used to back up the claims in this study. The researchers used 4-point
Likert scale to explain the data and the scale ranges from strongly agree to strongly
disagree. Professional such as research adviser double - checked the paper to ensure the
validity of the study.

Ethical Considerations

In this part of the study, the respondent identities and responses were kept
privately and would remain anonymous. The respondents' information were kept
confidential and were only used for research and study purposes.

According to Belmont (2018), the right to privacy also falls under the Belmont
Report’s principle of justice. Researchers must keep any shared information in their
strictest confidence. Upholding the right to privacy often involves procedures for
anonymity or confidentiality. For respondents’ data to be completely anonymous, the
researchers cannot have the ability to connect the participant to their data.

In addition, according to Saunders, M., Lewis, P. & Thornhill, A. (2012),


respondents should participate on the basis of informed consent. The principle of
informed consent involves researchers providing sufficient information and assurances
about taking part to allow individuals to understand the implications of participation and
to reach a fully informed, considered and freely given decision about whether or not to do
so, without the exercise of any pressure or coercion. The researchers will give the

OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL– ABM STRAND


WIFI VS. MOBILE DATA: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
xxvii

respondents a consent form to affirm their willingness to participate in the research on a


voluntary basis. All the questionnaires answered will not be kept in any record, therefore,
the responses will remain confidential only to be used by the researchers for the sole
purpose of this reason only. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary. In
considering privacy related to the conduct of research, several factors must be addressed.
The sensitivity of the data in the view of the individual or group being studied must be
considered. For example, certain types of information may be viewed as sensitive under
any circumstances. This is to ensure that the information acquired from them was kept in
complete confidentially, allowing them to be more open on answering all questions. The
researchers provided an informed consent form regarding the aim of the study each
respondent approached individually. Respondents must be willing and aware to be part of
the study before collecting the information and data.

Population and Sampling

In this part of research, the respondents were picked from Grade 12 ABM
students of Our Lady of Fatima University. The researchers had chosen quota sampling
and snowball sampling. This sampling was used to get the accurate respondents, which
were 30 willing respondents from Grade 12 ABM students.

As stated by Aprameya (2016), Quota sampling is a non- probabilistic method


where the researchers will divide the survey population into a mutually exclusive
subgroup. These subgroups are selected by the researchers or interviewer who is
conducting the research. The researchers used this sampling to gather and collect data
from the specific number of respondents. Snowball sampling is also known as non-
probability sampling. This sampling is being used to find the hidden population and it
also relies on referral (Johnson, 2014). The researchers used this sampling to found and
discover a characteristic about a population and to filter out those people who were most
likely to have caused the situation.

Data Collection

This section of the study went into the procedures that the adversary was used to obtain
data from the respondents.

Data Analysis

Prior to all statistical analysis, there were several data preparation steps taken. The
data analysis was taken up with the researchers carefully reading the transcribed data line
by line. The data obtained was divided into analytical and mathematical unit. For each of
the four indicators; service quality, promotion, price and speed, the researchers
implement the mean rating to characterize and defines them as close-ended survey
questionnaires used to represent the respondent feedbacks in a comparative form on the
specific features given. T-test was also used to compare one sample mean on a measure
with another sample mean on the same measure. The outcome of the t-test was used to
draw inferences about how different the samples are from each other (Jankowski &
Flannelly 2018). This was used to determine the significant difference in customer
satisfaction between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data.

Table 1 showed the detail when analyzing a data. Mean rating scale was used
which was 1-4 that corresponds to 4 for the highest and that was strongly agree, 3 for
agree, 2 for disagree and 1 will be the lowest which was strongly disagree.

2.1 Service Quality

The Wi-Fi and Mobile Data mean rating result in service quality was in table 3
below. In SQ1 with a statement, “I like how responsible its service employees are in
solving my concerns.” Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating, which was 3, and that was
equivalent to, “Agree” while Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.73, which was equal to
“Agree” In the SQ2 question, “I appreciate how the employees of its service show respect
and listen when asking me about my concerns.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating,
which is 3.2, and that is also equivalent to, “Agree” while Mobile Data got a mean rating
of 2.87, equal to “Agree” In SQ3, which stated, “I like how its management company
treat me as a regular customer.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of 3.23, equal to
“Agree” while Mobile Data got 2.77, and that was also equivalent to, “Agree” Lastly, in
SQ4, with a statement, “It provides a clear instructions or steps when giving a solution to
the problems I encounter while using the network.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating
of 3.23, equal to “Agree” while Mobile Data only got 2.87, and that was also equivalent

equal to “Agree” while Mobile Data got 2.81, which is also equivalent to “Agree” Based
on the result, it was proven in terms of service quality that Wi-Fi gains more satisfied
customers than Mobile Data. According to Xu, Wu & Jing (2017), the perceived service
quality and the evaluation criterion of customer satisfaction play an important role in
customer expectation, customer expectation is a fundamental construct that has received
more attention in service marketing, and it has a significant impact on customer
satisfaction and perceived service quality.

and that was also equivalent to, “Strongly Agree” The Mobile Data got the highest total
average mean rating score of 3.22 which was equal to “Agree” while Wi-Fi got 3.18,
which was equivalent to “Agree” Based on the result, it was proven in terms of
promotion that Mobile Data gains more satisfied customers than Wi-Fi. As stated by
Ghezelbash (2017), promotion on evaluating the quality of customer and repeating
purchase incentives has a big impact in satisfaction of customer. As stated on the analysis
of data, in the corporate world, price promotions have an impact on product quality,
service quality, satisfaction, and repeat purchase incentives.

which is equal to “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data got 3.09, which was equivalent to
“Agree” Based on the result, it was proven in terms of promotion that Wi-Fi gains more
satisfied customers than Mobile Data. Jakpar et al., (2012), stated that the effect of low
pricing product with the product quality plays the same result of low-price products
produces low quality product and vice- versa. Customer satisfaction toward a certain
discounted price level of a product and its quality with extension of product design and
customer requirements are all factors that influence product quality.

terms of speed that Wi-Fi gains more satisfied customers than Mobile Data. Good
network connectivity or speed can predict satisfaction, minimum download goodput and
device type predict satisfaction with network availability. Where for network speed, only
download factors predicted satisfaction. Users were discovered to integrate across
multiple measurements and to have a well-known peak- end effect in their ratings. It can
help with modeling efforts in terms of user satisfaction and quality of experience (Finley
et al., 2017).

rating, and that was rated as ''Agree” The statement in CS8, which was “I find it very
consistent because of its signal strength, good connection and fastest internet service
provider.” Wi-Fi obtained the highest mean rating of 3.1, and that was equivalent to
'''Agree” while Mobile Data got 2.7 mean rating, and rated as “Agree” In CS9, with the
statement “It network satisfies me on how it sustains a clear and good signal for better
lifetime experience.” Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of 3.27, and that was equal to
“Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.8 that rated as “Agree”
Lastly, in CS10, Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of 3.5, and that was equivalent to
''Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data rated as “Agree” with the mean rating of 2.6, with a
statement “Overall, I am more satisfied on it as my internet service provider.” Wi-Fi
received the highest mean rating of 3.29, and that was equivalent to "Strongly Agree" in
the total average of customer satisfaction, which was higher than Mobile Data mean
rating of 2.95, which was rated as "Agree." Based on the scores in mean rating, it was
proven that Wi-Fi was doing a better job in gaining satisfied customers than Mobile Data.
According to Ramanathan, Subramanian & Parrott (2017), technology evolution can gain
a competitive advantage in customer satisfaction. With unique service operations and
marketing approaches that will improve loyalty by adding value to customers.
Furthermore, the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer spending
behavior is very weak and needs further investigation. This is to understand how retail
networks use social media reviews, as well as unique service operations, to satisfy
customers.

Conclusion of the study

Ho: There is no significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of
customer satisfaction - Rejected

Ha: There is significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of customer
satisfaction - Accepted

In this part after interpreting all the result, the researchers discussed the outcome
of the conducted survey. Based on the survey, the researchers came across that Wi-Fi and
Mobile Data had a significant difference in terms of the satisfaction level of the thirty
ABM students of OLFU, Pampanga.

The four indicators of independent variable which were the service quality,
promotion, price and speed that has affected the dependent variable which is the customer
satisfaction.

As presented in the summary outcome of all the variables, the independent


variable which was price on Wi-Fi obtained the highest mean rating which was equal to
3.48 than all of the other indicators. In Mobile Data, promotion get the highest mean
rating which was equivalent to 3.22. In the total average of all dependent and independent
variable, Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating. This guided the researcher to came up with
the conclusion that the price of a service provider has a great impact to the satisfaction of
the customers that why price had the highest mean rating in all indicators and the reason
why Wi-Fi overall obtained the higher rating in terms of all the variables. According to
Hanif, Hafeez & Riaz (2010), good pricing is one way to ensure and secure that a
customer is satisfied. After experiencing the service, customer satisfaction is established
a good relationship and business success was built.

However, based on the T-test, it resulted to the P- value that was 0.031793706
which means that there was a significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in
terms of customer satisfaction. Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating on service quality,
promotion, speed and customer satisfaction that resulted to had a total average of 3.24
which mean “agree". While Mobile data got a highest mean rating on price only and
Mobile data got a total average of 2.95 which also mean “agree”. This conclude that Wi-

Fi got a higher total average and mean rating than Mobile data. In this case, the first
hypothesis (Ho) which aims to find out if there was no significant difference between Wi-
Fi and Mobile Data in terms of customer satisfaction was rejected that correspond to the
result of P-value that was greater than 0.5, while the second hypothesis (Ha) which aimed
to found out if there was a significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms
of customer satisfaction was accepted.

Recommendations

Based on the outcomes on the survey, the researcher gathered enough information
to conclude what does Mobile Data should do to match or surpass the satisfaction level of
the customer of Wi-Fi, for Wi-Fi the researcher had also enough data to recommend what
does Wi-Fi should maintain for the satisfactory level of their customer increase.

To begin with, Mobile Data weakness is its network connection because out of all
the indicator the speed got the lowest mean rating not only under Mobile Data but it is
still the lowest mean rating together with the Wi-Fi indicator, however the weakness of
Globe or the indicator with lowest mean rating is also speed. In this case the researchers
recommend for the two-network provider to further develop its network connection not
only in the speed of data signal but also the connection of it to the other network.
According to Khan & Ashfeen (2012), it will really lead to dissatisfaction if a network
can’t provide a well quality coverage because their mobile phone can’t function well
especially as a tool for communication with a weak and poor network coverage signal.

The researcher hope that Mobile Data would sustain its convenient billing and
pricing because based on the survey outcomes the customer was highly satisfied by the
worth it products and services provided by it since it gets the highest mean rating that
Mobile Data which means that Wi-Fi customers were also highly satisfied. One of the
major factors in the purchasing behavior or retaining of customer is the price because it
plays a vital role whether a consumer will switch to other service data providers. In
additions price has an impact when it is worth it to a positive consumer buying decision
(Qalati et al., 2019).

In customer satisfaction which is the dependent variable, Wi-Fi obtains a higher


mean rating than Mobile Data, but due to the independent variable that can affect the
dependent variable, where in Wi-Fi gets all the higher mean rating into all independent
variable and it was resulted that Wi-Fi gets a higher mean rating in the total average in all
the variables. So, the researchers recommend that Mobile Data should focus or pay an
attention to all the factors that can affect the satisfaction of their customer for them to
have a good image. As stated by Biesok & Wyród-Wróbel (2011), a non-stop satisfying
customer is one of the important factors to the continuous success if a business and a
business should focus on things that are valuable to the customer that makes them
satisfied.

The researchers suggest and recommend the following practices for further
improvement and to develop the said dimensions:

1. Based on the given result the two service data providers have poor network
connection speed, the researcher recommendation is that they should build more
cell site tower signals on a lot of places, even in remote rural areas for a better
network connection everywhere and anytime.
2. Mobile Data should improve their customer services, service quality and on how
they treat their customer to build a good relationship.
3. Wi-Fi needed to enhance and improve more its customer satisfaction especially the
service quality.
4. To the telecommunication industry, as the study result that customer satisfaction is
important to sustain a customer, they should improve and enhance a quality and
worth it services for all the customers and it's also for the sake of the business to
gain more profit.
5. To the future researchers, this may help for further information they will need
especially if they want to expand this type of research or make a study about
telecommunication industries to have a strong basis about how internet affect
everyone satisfaction.
