How Quality of Service is Affected:

Power Outages: If electricity fails at a tower or facility, users in that area lose service.

Vandalism: Damage to tower equipment cuts off connectivity for everyone using that tower.

Network Congestion: At busy times (like holidays), too many users can overload the network, slowing calls and data.

Weather Conditions: Heavy rain or storms can weaken signals and disrupt connections.
