Network anomaly customer alert: warn the customer in the outage zone
An outage at a base station — the operator knows in 30 minutes, the customer complains in 60. Customer alert changes the sequence: notification first, then the customer does not even call.
Discuss Your ChallengeScenario
There is an outage at a base station in the Mirabad district — voice is down, data is degraded. Network operations know about the incident in 30 minutes. Customers in the zone start noticing within 5-15 minutes and calling support within 30-60 minutes. By the time many of them are calling, the contact centre is overloaded, NPS drops.
With customer alerting the sequence changes: operator knows → customer is notified → contact centre is not overloaded → NPS does not drop → ETA for restoration is managed.
Trigger
Network monitoring detects: cell or cluster of cells degraded. Severity threshold (for example, >40% session failure rate in the zone).
A consumer is subscribed: the notification fabric receives an event “network.incident.detected” with zone polygon, ETA, severity.
Alert scope
Geofence-based: only customers whose last session was in the affected zone within the last 6 hours. Not the whole base.
Tier-based: for high-tier customers — additionally SMS or voice notification, for the rest — push.
Action
Push: “We have an incident in the Mirabad district. Voice is intermittent, we are restoring data. Expected restoration — 2 hours. Apologies”.
If the customer is in the zone without service — fallback SMS (via a neighbouring cell or Wi-Fi calling).
Update push when the incident is resolved: “Restored. Thank you for your patience”.
Optionally — compensation push on a significant outage: “For the incident we added 1GB to your account”.
What is measured
Alert reach rate — what share of affected customers received the notification.
Contact centre call volume — should drop sharply within 30-60 minutes of the alert.
NPS post-incident — among notified vs not notified.
Compensation effectiveness — perception change with automatic compensation.
What not to do
Do not send a generic “we have problems” outside the zone — customers at work will not receive it but will lose trust in the alert mechanism.
Do not hold the notification for PR sign-off — this is an operations decision, not PR.
Do not promise an ETA that cannot be met — the customer will check.
Do not forget the resolved update — the customer is left in a hanging state.
