👉 Dialpad tip:
Not all networks provide the same level of service and your local Internet service can also affect call quality. For example, you may have excellent call quality from the office, but not-as-good call quality from other locations, such as your home office, because the network isn’t optimized for HD calling. (Your Internet and router settings can also affect call quality.)
👉 Dialpad tip:
Secondary metrics you might look at include measurements of the R-factor, which measures live, real-time user experience with the calls. It includes delay, echo, and recency. Then there’s measuring gap and burst density, which helps troubleshoot packet loss issues, whereas measuring the quality of service (QoS) monitors transmission quality.
