ABSTRACT
Congestion remains a major challenge to telecommunications
service provision both to the service providers as well as the subscribers. We
attempted to determine the causes of congestion and evaluated congestion
control mechanisms adopted by service providers in Nigeria using MTN Nigeria as
a case study. A survey research design methodology using stratified random
sampling technique was employed . Automated data from MTN's data logging
machine was the main data collected and supplemented by unstructured interview.
Nine research questions were stated and tested in line with the set objectives.
Data analysis was done using MS Excel and results presented using descriptive
statistics. Findings from the study showed that apart from the carrying
capacity of the MTN network other factors such as the use of phones for data
transfer and multimedia activities contributes to traffic congestion on the
network. Other external factors such as vandalization of network equipments,
weather and high rise buildings also contributes negatively in varying degrees
to service sustainability. Recommendations were made based on these findings.
