Unicom Service Levels Explained

Mail Response

Each letter that Unicom receives is given a percentage service level. The level awarded depends on the time taken to respond to the letter. Our target is to achieve 95% each month. Details of the percentage awarded for each letter is outlined in the table below:

Letter received and responded to: Percentage Level Awarded
Within 3 days 100%
Between 3 & 7 days 75%
Between 7 & 14 days 50%
Between 14 & 28 days 25%
Over 28 days 0%

Call Response

The process of calculating the Call Response figures is similar to that of the Mail Response Levels. The time taken to answer each call received is measured, awarded a service level percentage and each month an average service level is calculated. Our target is to achieve 97% each month.

Calls answered in: Percentage Level Awarded
0-6 seconds 100%
Between 6 & 12 seconds 75%
Between 12 & 20 seconds 50%
Over 20 seconds 25%
Abandoned Call 0%

Each month the average percentage level awarded is displayed in the Customer Contact graph.

Welcome Packs

Every customer who verbally agrees to services provided by Unicom receives a Welcome pack. This explains the terms and conditions, the process of transferring phone lines and other useful information. Unicom endeavours to send out welcome packs within 3 days of a customer agreeing to a contract.

Each welcome pack sent out is awarded a percentage service level. The level awarded depends on the amount of time taken to send out the welcome pack. Details of the percentage awarded for each welcome pack sent out are outlined in the below table:

Welcome pack sent out: Percentage Level Awarded
Within 3 days 100%
Between 3 & 7 days 75%
Between 7 & 14 days 50%
Between 14 & 28 days 25%
Over 28 days 0%

Each month an average percentage is displayed in the Service Setup graph.

Live Service Dates

Telecoms services take a minimum period of time to be transferred between service providers. This transition from another service provider to Unicom is seamless and does not affect service. Unicom endeavours to take over a number within 3 weeks (or 15 working days).

The process of calculating the live date service levels is very similar to that of the welcome pack service levels. The time taken to have a number live with Unicom is awarded a percentage service level. The level awarded depends on the amount of time taken to get the service live with Unicom. Details of the percentage awarded for each live line are outlined in the below table:

Live: Percentage Level Awarded
Within 3 weeks 100%
Between 3 & 6 weeks 75%
Between 6 & 10 weeks 50%
Between 10 & 20 weeks 25%
Over 20 weeks 0%

Each month an average percentage is displayed in the Service Setup graph.
