Abstract
This study focused to determine the comparison of the satisfaction level of the
customer of Wi-Fi and Mobile Data as a service data provider. The researcher goal is to
know the significance difference of Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of customer
satisfaction. This research may help the given two internet provider and other
telecommunication industry to know more about on how to satisfy their consumer and
how to maintain a consistent good performance for the sake of the satisfaction of the
customer and this can also help the future researchers to gain idea about the given study.
The study was quantitative in nature, where in it focuses on gathering numerical data and
presenting in a statistical manner is being observed, it is a combination of descriptive and
comparative study. The sampling used was quota and snowball sampling. Survey
questionnaires by the utilization of Google forms were used by the researcher to gather
data from thirty respondents which are the grade 12 ABM students of Our Lady of
Fatima University, Pampanga. The answered survey questionnaire went through
tabulation Likert Scale. The researchers considered the respondent demographic
indicators which are the: Service Quality, Promotion, Price and Speed. Mean rating scale
and T-test results will be shown that has been used in the study. The result shows that
Wi-Fi is more satisfying to the customer than Mobile Data. Hence, null hypothesis (Ho)
is rejected which means that there is a significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile
Data in terms of customer satisfaction. After interpreting the results, the researchers
presented their conclusion and recommendation.
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.
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-
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.
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.
This research aims to identify the difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data on
customer satisfaction. This study seeks to answer the following questions:
Hypothesis
Ho: There is no significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of
customer satisfaction.
Ha: There is significant difference between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of customer
satisfaction.
This study is significant with new discoveries and information that can gave
benefits to the following:
To the Students. This research can benefit the students by means of getting
information on what kind of Wi-Fi connection or Mobile Data connection is worth
purchasing and can satisfy the customers.
To the Customers. This research can benefit the customers by means of having
knowledge on which telecommunication industry they can rely on. What kind of
internet connection and mobile network they will purchase that can satisfy them?
To the Telecommunication Industry. This research can benefit the
Telecommunication Industry by means of having new ideas on how they can improve
their connections to satisfy their customers.
To the Future Researchers. This research can benefit the future researchers by
means of having knowledge on the satisfaction of Wi-Fi connection and Mobile Data
connection so that the future researchers will have an idea on how they will do their
research more effective and efficient.
Definition of Terms
For a clearer understanding, the following terms will be defined properly based on
how they used in this study.
Customer Satisfaction - A larger brand portfolios offer a strategy solution for the
general market share-satisfaction trade-off. Often used to assess marketing
performance (Rego, L & Morgan, N & Fornell, C, 2013).
Mobile Phone - Lane (2010), defines that a mobile phone is a programmable and
come with a growing set of cheap powerful embedded sensors, such as an
accelerometer, digital compass, gyroscope, GPS, microphone, and camera, which
are enabling the emergence of personal, group, and community scale sensing
applications.
Internet - As stated by Curran, Fenton & Freedman (2016), internet is a global
network providing a lot of information and communication about economic,
political and social life of contemporary societies. Internet’s potential will be
realized in essentially positive and transformative ways.
Customer Experience - Lemon & Verhoef (2016), stated that defining and
improving customer experience is a growing priority for market research,
experience is replacing quality as the competitive battleground for marketing.
Service Quality - Schembri & Sandberg (2011), defines that a service quality is
conceptualized as a fixed set of static service dimensions such as reliability and
responsiveness that reflect consumer expectations and/ or perceptions.
Promotion - An act that can easily overwhelm the need for evidence to inform
that action supports or provides active encouragement for the furtherance of a
cause, venture, or aim (Marshall, Pronovost & Woods, 2013).
Price - Gopinath (2015), stated that price is the amount of money needed its
either lower or expensive that can be needed to pay for something.
Speed - According to Duclos, Criado & Nguyen (2017), speed is a motion or rate
at which something or someone to move or operate at difference scale.

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

The framework for the study is depicted in Figure 1. The

the dependent variable, customer satisfaction.
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-
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).
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.
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
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 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).
Foreign Studies
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
Data Collection
This section of the study went into the procedures that the adversary was used to obtain
data from the respondents.
Step 2
Explain the purpose of the study.
Distribute the questionnaires to the respondents by the use of a Google forms via
Step 3 e-messenger or a private message.
Step 4
Follow up and retrieve the answer questionnaires.
Check the answered questionnaires and make sure to double check i they
Step 5 answered everything.
Step 6
Thank the respondents for their participation in the study.
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.
CHAPTER IV
In this chapter, the researcher discussed the statistical result of the study. Tables,
pie charts, and charts of demographic profiles or data of the respondents were included in
this chapter to show the summary of the data gathered from the respondents. The Mean
Rating Scale and the T-test were the statistical methods that were used in the study and
were discussed.
Figure 3 below shows the pie graph presenting the percentage of the gender of the
ABM students who use Wi-Fi and Mobile Data. The graphical result below shows that
out of 30 respondents, 23 or 76.7% are females, while 7 or 23.3% are males.

I. Frequency of Use
In table 2, the question "How often do you use Wi-Fi or Mobile Data?", showed
that Wi-Fi got a mean rating of 3.83, which corresponded to "Often" in descriptive rating,
while Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.6, and was rated as "Sometimes".
Table 2
II. Mean Rating Table of all the Indicators Under Customer Satisfaction
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
to, “Agree” The Wi-Fi got the highest total average mean rating score of 3.17 which was
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.
Table 3
2.2 Promotion
In table 4 below, the P1 question, which was “I really like how its service
providers offered a lot of discounts, promos and sales when it’s their company
anniversary.” Mobile Data got the highest mean rating, which was 3.33, and that was
equivalent to, “Strongly Agree” while Wi-Fi got a mean rating of 3.07, which was equal
to “Agree” In the P2 question, “I like how its service form a budget-friendly prepaid Wi-
Fi for those who have tight budget.” the Mobile Data got the highest mean rating, which
was 3.33, and that was also equivalent to “Strongly Agree” while Wi-Fi got a mean rating
of 3.3, equal to “Strongly Agree” In P3, which stated, “I appreciate employees who visit
our house to offer promos for it.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of 2.97, equal to
“Agree” while Mobile Data got 2.67, and that was also equivalent to, “Agree” Lastly, in
P4, with a statement, “I like the way how it gives promos for new customer.” the Mobile
Data got the highest mean rating of 3.53, equal to “Strongly Agree” while Wi-Fi got 3.37,
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.
Table 4
2.3 Price
In the PE1 “I find the promos of it much more cost-efficient.” Wi-Fi got the
highest mean rating, which was 3.4, and that was equivalent to, “Strongly Agree” while
Mobile Data got a mean rating of 3.13, which is equal to “Agree” In the PE2 question, “I
find that it is much affordable.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating, which was 3.6,
and that was equivalent to, “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.9,
which was equal to “Agree” In PE3, which stated, “I like how the price of it service is not
overpriced, the price is such a good deal for its service.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean
rating of 3.47, equal to “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data got 3.13, and that was
equivalent to, “Agree” Lastly, in PE4, with a statement, “I find that its pricing
information is very clear and understandable.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of
3.47, equal to “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data only got 3.2, and that was also
equivalent to, “Agree” The Wi-Fi got the highest total average mean rating score of 3.48
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.
Table 5
2.4 Speed
In table 6 below, The S1 “I like how it can sustain a clear and good signal.” Wi-Fi
got the highest mean rating, which was 2.97, and that was equivalent to, “Agree” while
Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.87, which was equal to “Agree” In the S2 question,
“In attending my online class, it provide a better signal and clear graphics.” the Wi-Fi got
the highest mean rating, which was 3.27, and that was also equivalent to, “Strongly
Agree” while Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.53, equal to “Agree” In S3, which
stated, “The signal strength of it is consistent in all parts of our house.” the Wi-Fi got the
highest mean rating of 2.9, equal to “Agree” while Mobile Data got 2.57, and that was
equivalent to, “Agree” Lastly, in S4, with a statement, “It provides a good signal in doing
my research.” the Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating of 3.2, equal to “Agree” while
Mobile Data only got 2.73, and that was also equivalent to, “Agree” The Wi-Fi got the
highest total average mean rating score of 3.09 which was equal to “Agree” while Mobile
Data got 2.68, which was also equivalent to “Agree” Based on the result, it was proven in
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).

The outcome of the mean rating of the customer satisfaction of Wi-Fi and Mobile
Data consumers was in table 7 below. CS1 stated that “I am likely to be satisfied on it
because they respond on time to take my concern immediately.” with Wi-Fi receiving the
highest mean rating of 2.93, which was equivalent to “Agree” while Mobile Data
received a mean rating of 2.57, which was equal to "Agree." Wi-Fi received a highest
mean rating of 3.3, which was equal to "Strongly Agree," while Mobile Data received a
mean rating of 3.13 which was equal to “Agree” in CS2, which stated, "I like how the
price of it service inform us about their services." In CS3, with the statement “It
prioritizes the satisfaction of the customers by providing a clear instructions or steps
when giving a solution to the problem.” Wi-Fi got the highest mean rating was 3.33 that
was rated as ''Strongly Agree'' while Mobile Data only obtained a mean rating of 3.07 and
that was equal to ''Agree” In CS4, with the statement “I like how it give promotion for
my happiness as their customer.” Wi-Fi obtained the highest mean rating of 3.33 that was
equivalent to “Strongly Agree,” while Mobile Data only got a mean rating of 3.2 and that
was equal to ''Agree” In CS5, which stated, “I am satisfied in promos, discounts and sale
from its anniversary giveaway.” Mobile Data got the highest mean rating of 3.43, and
that was rated as “Strongly Agree” while Wi-Fi got a mean rating of 3.33 and that was
equal to “Strongly Agree” In CS6, that remarked “I have an assurance that it will give me
a good pricing for better experience while using their network.” Wi-Fi got a mean rating
of 3.3, and that was equal to “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data only got a mean rating
of 3 which was rated as ''Agree” In CS7, with the statement “The amount I spent to
subscribe on its service is worth it.” Wi-Fi gets the highest mean rating which was 3.5,
and that was equivalent to “Strongly Agree” while Mobile Data only obtains a 3-mean
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.

The outcome of the mean rating of the summary of all the variables was in table 8
below. In the summary of service quality Wi-Fi received a highest mean rating of 3.17,
which was equivalent to "Agree" while Mobile Data received a mean rating of 2.81,
which was equal to "Agree” In the promotion Mobile Data obtained a highest mean
rating of 3.22 and that was equal to ''Agree” while Wi-Fi obtained a mean rating of 3.18
and that was equal to ''Agree” In the price Wi-Fi received a mean rating of 3.48, which
was equal to "Strongly Agree" while Mobile Data only received 3.09, which was equal to
"Agree" In speed, Wi-Fi got the mean rating of 3.08, and that was equal to “Agree” while
Mobile Data got a mean rating of 2.68, and rated as “Strongly Agree” In customer
satisfaction, Wi-Fi got the mean rating of 3.29, and which was equivalent to ''Strongly
Agree” while Mobile Data got the mean rating of 2.95 and was rated as “Agree” Based
on the scores in mean rating, it was proven that Wi-Fi received the highest mean rating of
3.24, and that was equivalent to "Agree" in the total average of summary of all variables,
which was higher than Mobile Data mean rating of 2.95, which was rated as "Agree”.
The researchers already gained an idea about the given outcome. This were very helpful
to the researchers to knew if there a significant difference or no significant difference
between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data in terms of customer satisfaction.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
In this part, this section addresses the conclusion that's been made based on the
statistical result. Recommendations will also be indicated that made for the customer
satisfaction of the consumers on Wi-Fi and Mobile Data. This proposal are offers that
might be a help for the Wi-Fi and Mobile Data service data providers to improve and to
give ideas to their services.
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.
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).
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.
