Detecting communication network insights of alerts

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• identify one or more geographic areas covered by a communication network;
• determine, for each geographic area, a congestion metric for the geographic area based at least on a difference between a first and second reference point on a network speed curve, wherein the network speed curve represents download speeds for a volume of traffic in the geographic area;
• identify one or more network traffic congestions in one or more of the geographic areas based on a comparison of the respective congestion metrics of the geographic areas to a threshold congestion metric;
• and
• send, to one or more operators of the communication network, one or more alerts about the identified network traffic congestions.

A system comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying instructions;
• and one or more processors coupled to the storage media and operable to execute the instructions to:
• identify one or more geographic areas covered by a communication network;
• determine, for each geographic area, a congestion metric for the geographic area based at least on a difference between a first and second reference point on a network speed curve, wherein the network speed curve represents download speeds for a volume of traffic in the geographic area;
• identify one or more network traffic congestions in one or more of the geographic areas based on a comparison of the respective congestion metrics of the geographic areas to a threshold congestion metric;
• and
• send, to one or more operators of the communication network, one or more alerts about the identified network traffic congestions.
