Abstract
Since 2001, which marked the advent of modern telephony in Nigeria, there is a significant increase in the capacity of the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). Total connected active lines were quite over a hundred million according to the reports by Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), the regulatory body in Nigeria. However, mobile telephone users in the country are experiencing poor quality of service at different locations in the country. Thus, NCC has set benchmark values for various keys performance Indicator. In this study, findings on the quality of service delivered to users of WCDMA Band by the MNOs in different locations within University of Ilorin will be made.
