Quality Parameters of Electronic Communication Services Suggested by ANACOM to Assist Operators in Defining Quality Levels
a) Maximum service start-up time, measured in consecutive calendar days/hours, from the moment the customer submits a valid request for the service up to the moment the service is actually made available. Maximum service start-up times for changes to service modes/features, change of customer address and the installation of additional services must also be taken into account.
b) Maximum service interruption/suspension time
Maximum monthly service interruption/suspension time, measured in hours per month from the moment the customer presents the complaint up to the moment the service is restored, where the responsibility falls on the entity providing the service or on the electronic communications network operator supporting the service.
