At Euroroute, our partnership with AVSystem empowers ISP decision-makers with powerful tools for real-time speed testing and network optimisation. In this article, we explore how Cloud ACS speed tests help Irish ISPs identify performance issues early, reduce support calls, and minimise customer churn by delivering a consistently high-quality broadband experience.

Cloud ACS provides ISPs with a centralised platform to remotely configure and manage customer premises equipment (CPE) at scale. This allows for automated firmware updates, parameter adjustments, and diagnostics, all delivered directly to routers and gateways. By integrating speed testing into this system, ISPs gain valuable insight into live connection quality across their customer base.

In today’s market, customer loyalty hinges on the quality of the broadband experience. Irish consumers expect seamless streaming, lag-free video calls, and dependable remote working tools. Studies consistently show that poor or inconsistent internet speed is one of the top reasons users switch providers. Cloud ACS speed tests offer proactive monitoring to detect slow or unstable connections before they escalate, enabling ISPs to act swiftly and prevent dissatisfaction.

Automated speed tests are a key management tool within Cloud ACS. These tests measure and report metrics such as download/upload speeds, latency, and jitter, offering a snapshot of real-world user experiences. Regular testing enables ISPs to identify performance issues early, schedule remedial action, and benchmark improvements. For busy support teams, this translates into fewer reactive troubleshooting cases and more efficient operations.

1. Immediate Diagnostics:
When tests detect anomalies or degradation, ISPs can remotely investigate the issue often before customers notice any loss in service quality.

2. Enhanced Network Tuning:
Aggregated speed data helps identify network bottlenecks or coverage gaps, enabling targeted upgrades to ensure optimal performance across all regions.

3. Informed Capacity Planning:
Data-driven insights inform future infrastructure investments, helping ISPs prioritise regions or services most in need of improvement.

For end users, Cloud ACS speed tests translate into a more reliable broadband experience. Personalised data insights enable ISPs to offer transparency, such as notifying customers when speeds improve or benchmarks are met. This level of service builds trust, drives NPS (Net Promoter Scores) scores, and reduces churn. ISPs seen as proactive and informative are more likely to retain subscribers long-term.

As the Irish economy becomes ever more digital, with full-fibre rollouts, gigabit-ready services, and smart-home adoption on the rise, networks must evolve to meet increasing demands. Cloud ACS speed testing places ISPs at the forefront of this evolution, ensuring networks remain resilient, efficient, and ready for tomorrow’s tech landscape.

Adopting Cloud ACS speed testing is a strategic investment in operational excellence, customer trust, and market readiness. At Euroroute, we’re helping Irish ISPs implement these capabilities seamlessly, offering end-to-end support from provisioning to ongoing performance tuning.
