Abstract

A method of assigning network resource between users of a network is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a measure of user experience of users accessing a service within the network (step 120), determining a current level of user satisfaction with the service accessed for users within the network (step 130), and distributing network resource between users to minimise the number of users exhibiting a level of user satisfaction that is below a first threshold level (step 140). Also disclosed is a computer program product for carrying out a method of assigning network resource between users of a network and a system (200) configured to assign network resource between users of a network.
