QoE Insights that Give You an Edge

Prevent Churn

Identify and address poor QoE before customers complain or leave. Detect service-, device-, or location-specific outages and resolve them proactively.

Smarter Investment

Optimize network resources based on actual quality impact. Avoid overprovisioning. Invest in better peering, not just bigger pipes.

Competitive Edge

Benchmark against competitors with standardized ITU-T P.1203 MOS scores. Deliver a better customer experience — and back it up with data.

Real Network Optimization with End-to-End Visibility

Gain the Last Mile View into Your Customers' QoE

Gain the Last Mile View into Your Customers' QoE

Translate complex network data into a single, understandable truth: how customers perceive your service. Surfmeter combines video MOS scores, web vitals, and network KPIs into one unified view — from headend to screen.

Pinpoint the Root Cause of Quality Degradation

Pinpoint the Root Cause of Quality Degradation

Go beyond knowing that a problem exists — understand why it happens. Trace issues to specific CDN peering, ISP routing, service updates, or regional degradation with drill-down diagnostics.

Resolve Issues Before Customers Complain

Resolve Issues Before Customers Complain

Move from reactive complaint handling to proactive quality management. Detect anomalies, like MOS drops, stalling spikes, and service degradations in real time — and act before they impact your subscribers.

Optimize Performance with Objective Data

Optimize Performance with Objective Data

Stop guessing, start measuring. Use ITU-T P.1203 standardized quality scores and real service measurements to make targeted optimizations — from network tuning to CDN selection.

The Surfmeter app now enables us for the first time, to record qualitative measurements that are comparable with the customer's actual perception.

An Excerpt of our KPIs

Video Streaming QoE

  • P.1203 Overall MOS
    Single score summarizing perceived video experience across audio, visual quality, and stalling events.
  • Initial Loading Delay
    Time from user action to first frame played. Critical for first impressions and reducing bounce.
  • Stalling Events & Duration
    Count and total duration of buffering interruptions — strongly correlated with user abandonment.
  • Average Video Bitrate
    Sustained delivered quality level. Validates CDN performance, ABR behavior, and capacity planning.
  • Resolution & Quality Switches
    Frequency of mid-stream quality changes. Excessive switching degrades perceived smoothness.

Web Performance

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
    How quickly the main content becomes visible. A Core Web Vital tied to engagement and SEO.
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP)
    Speed of the first visual feedback. Strong proxy for perceived responsiveness.
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB)
    Backend and network latency until first byte arrives. Improving TTFB lifts many downstream metrics.
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
    Measures visual stability during page load to prevent layout jumps that hurt UX.
  • DOM Ready Time
    Time until the page becomes interactive. Reducing blocking scripts improves responsiveness.

Network Quality

  • Download / Upload Speed
    Maximum throughput in both directions. The ceiling for achievable video bitrates and page load speeds.
  • Latency (RTT)
    Round-trip delay to the server. Lower latency improves interactivity, gaming, and call quality.
  • Jitter
    Variation in packet arrival times. High jitter degrades real-time streaming and conferencing.
  • Packet Loss
    Percentage of data packets lost in transit. Even small loss rates visibly degrade video quality.
  • Throughput
    Sustained data transfer rate under real conditions, beyond peak speed measurements.
