This thesis will embark on the collection of data at one of the UA 5000 located 5 kilometers away from Local Exchange. A few testing needs to be done repeatedly to determine the peak hour and the cause of variations in the traffic performance. The measurement results show the variations of data transmit and received where the data can be utilize by the Service Provider to determine peak hour traffic and monitor the service to the customers. The outcome of this study can be used to improve and maximize the quality of service and at the same time resolve the inconsistency of the transmitted data rate to subscribers.
