The Challenge

Vistabeam, like many ISPs, faces many challenges in maintaining a high-quality internet experience for its customers. These challenges include:

  • Network Congestion: Managing network congestion and ensuring consistent speeds during peak hours.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction in a competitive market was imperative, and any degradation in service quality could impact customer retention.
  • Underutilized Access Points: Driving traffic to access points that have available network capacity.

Vistabeam recognized the need for a solution that would not only monitor network performance but also optimize it in real-time. As such, it turned to Preseem to address these challenges.

Implementation of Preseem

Preseem was seamlessly integrated into Vistabeam’s network infrastructure. The implementation process involved:

  • Real-time Monitoring: Preseem continuously monitored network performance, allowing Vistabeam to identify issues as they occurred.
  • Traffic Shaping: The platform enabled Vistabeam to ensure consistent and reliable service.
  • Subscriber-level Insights: Vistabeam gained access to subscriber-level QoE metrics, enabling them to address individual customer issues promptly.
  • Business Value Score: Looking at the Business Value Score to identify customers that are most likely to churn and reacting accordingly to retain them. It also provides an action plan to increase customer capacity on an AP by improving low business value scores on individual subscribers.
  • Capacity numbers: Utilizing the capacity numbers to identify APs that are underutilized, and create marketing efforts toward those areas.
