Abstract: This study examined differences in customer expectations, perceptions of performance and satisfaction and retention of telecommunications service quality in the multi-ethnic environment of Malaysia. Analysis of multivariate covariance was used to determine the effect of a number of demographic variables (gender, ethnic, age, marital, education and income). Overall, the findings suggested that some demographic variables have significant effects on some dimensions involved in expectations, perceptions of performance and satisfaction, and retention with income having the most effects and gender, ethnic, and marital status having the least effects. Those dimensions include service coverage, billing integrity, quality of line, customer service and customer service outlet.
