Call Quality Problems Experienced with Wireless Services Continue to Decline
The number of reported wireless call quality problems has declined for a third consecutive reporting period, reaching the lowest levels in the history of the study, according to the latest report from J.D. Power. The study finds that the number of customer-reported call quality problems is 15 problems per 100 (PP100) calls, down 29 percent from the same interviewing period in 2006 (21 PP100). A lower PP100 score is better, as it means fewer problems experienced with call quality. In particular, considerable improvements have been made with regard to the number of dropped calls, initial disconnects and interference/static. The number of calls with initial disconnects has decreased by 40 percent and the number of dropped calls has decreased by 33 percent compared with the previous reporting period in 2007 (released in March). more
