Accenture Study Finds Fewer Consumers Switch Service Providers Despite Decreasing Satisfaction, Reversing a Trend

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2010 – For the first time in six years, the number of consumers who switched service providers as a result of poor customer service declined in 2010, according to the latest edition of an annual consumer behavior study released today by Accenture (NYSE: ACN).
