Quality of Service

IDA regulates the performance of key services offered by operators by setting Quality of Service (QoS) standards and requiring the operators to submit periodic reports of their service quality.

Operators who fail to comply with the telecommunications QoS standards would have to pay a financial penalty of S$5,000 for each non-compliance. For postal QoS, the financial penalty is S$5,000 for each non-compliance with a primary indicator and S$1,000 for each non-compliance with a secondary indicator. Generally, standards which tend to have a wider public impact over longer periods and which can cause major public inconveniences, should there be any failure of compliance, are considered as primary indicators.

IDA regularly reviews the QoS requirements to take into account industry and technology changes, as well as changes in consumer demand, to ensure that the requirements remain relevant.
