TRAI to check no of subscribers by ISP to ensure quality
January 16th, 2009 by Annkur
INDIA: Telecom regulat TRAI plans to curb the number of subscribers an ISP can serve in order to ensure that network congestion and overload do not result in poor consumer experience. The most common complaint against ISP’s is poor connection speeds – more often than not much less than what is advertised.
This is generally the result of issuing too many connections on a limited bandwidth. The way to get this under control would be to get a policy relating to contention ratio in place. Contention ratio is the number of customers connected per unit bandwidth.
As per international practices, the average contention ratio for a home user package is 50:1 and that for business package is 20:1.
