The CCTS was established in 2007[4] by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Canada's telecommunications and broadcasting regulator.[5] All telecommunication and licensed television service providers must participate in the CCTS' complaint resolution process.[6]
In 2017–2018, the CCTS handled 14,272 complaints from consumers and resolved 92 per cent of these complaints. During this period, 41.5% of complaints were related to wireless service, 29.2% in regards to internet services and 10.6% for television services.[7]
Most recently in 2021, the CCTS accepted approximately 17,000 complaints from Canadians in regards to their Internet, phone, and TV services. Bell represented 20% of all complaints, an eight percent decrease from the year prior. Rogers was in second with 13.9%, Fido in third with 10% and TELUS in fourth with 7% of all complaints. [8]
