Client feedback forms the basis for identifying the service providers who deliver an exceptional, stand-out customer experience.<\/p>\n<p>For businesses navigating today\u2019s digital demands, this research offers valuable, independent insight for anyone choosing which IT partners to support their business.<\/p>\n<p>The results from Whitelane\u2019s 2025 survey delivered many positive outcomes for GTT in several major European markets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>UK &amp; Ireland<\/strong>: We achieved the #1 ranking for network and connectivity services with an 80% satisfaction rating. The research highlights business transformation as a top driver for why organizations in this region choose to work with IT service providers. GTT is well placed to offer our customers flexible services that can adapt with their changing business needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Germany<\/strong>: We achieved top-tier recognition as an Exceptional Performer in the network and connectivity services category and scored an impressive 78% in general satisfaction.

For example, in manufacturing, IT leaders need complete confidence in their network provider to keep operations running smoothly.

Our customer-first focus makes all the difference in how we deliver on our mission to simply and securely connect people and agents to data and applications anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<h2>The GTT Approach to Customer Satisfaction<\/h2>\n<p>Our approach is simple: We start by listening.
