The data from the industry regulator indicated that the other telcos failed in four major KPIs – Dropped Call Rate, Call Setup Success Rate, Standalone Dedicated Control Channel Congestion Rate and Traffic Control Channel Congestion Rate.

An analysis of the quality of service report showed that subscribers recorded high drop call rates in 14 states.

The NCC described a dropped call as a call that is prematurely terminated before being released normally by either the caller or the called party and has a performance threshold of less than or equal to one per cent.

Another KPI is the CSSR, which is the fraction of the attempts to make a call that resulted in a connection to the dialled number.

According to the statistics, the telcos failed to meet this parameter in 10 states.
