IPI Services CCaaS/UCaaS/NGN Experiencing Intermittent Poor Audio Quality for Contact Centre Agents
Subscribe
Update - Our investigation has identified intermittent packet loss and instability affecting a network transit path between our platform and Microsoft services. Analysis performed with our upstream transit provider has identified packet loss and route instability impacting a Microsoft IP transit connection, which may result in some agents experiencing robotic or degraded audio during calls.
We are actively working with the upstream provider and Microsoft to monitor the affected path and implement corrective actions. Service availability remains unaffected; however, a subset of calls may continue to experience intermittent audio quality issues whilst remediation efforts are underway.
Impact: Some contact centre agents may experience intermittent robotic, distorted, or degraded audio during live calls.

Investigating - Dear Customer,
We are investigating reports of intermittent degraded call quality affecting a subset of contact centre agents. Agents may experience robotic or distorted audio during active calls, while call functionality remains available.
Our engineering teams are actively investigating the issue and reviewing all service components. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
Impact: Some agents may experience intermittent robotic or degraded audio quality during calls.
Status: Investigation in progress.
Regards
