The regulation on high quality of service of dial-up and leased line web entry service, 2001, was notified with the first purpose of specifying the standard of service benchmarks to be achieved by the service suppliers, guarantee buyer satisfaction with the community efficiency and to shield the pursuits of subscribers of the web service.

This regulation is relevant to all of the Basic Service Operators and Internet Service Providers, together with the incumbent operators viz BSNL, MTNL and VSNL.
