A probability that a particular network segment is responsible for poor audio quality associated with the telephone call is calculated based on the plurality of parameters. The probability that a particular network segment is responsible for the poor audio quality associated with the telephone call is a function of at least one of the i) duration of the call and ii) call disconnect time relative to call answer time.
