1. A system for monitoring telecommunications services end-to-end through a distributed network environment, the system comprising:

  • a distributed telecommunication network, the distributed telecommunication network being capable of providing communications to a plurality of users during an active state;

    a plurality of point of presence servers distributed throughout the geographic regions served by the distributed telecommunications network, each of the point of presence servers being adapted to provide at least a test pattern from a plurality of test patterns where each of the test patterns corresponds respectively to at least one of a plurality of services, whereupon the test pattern is transferred from one of the point of presence servers to another point of presence server to identify a quality level of the distributed telecommunication network between the one point of presence server and the other point of presence server; and

    a master controller coupled to each of the point of presence servers via an Internet Protocol Wide Area Network (IP-WAN), the master controller being adapted to select at least one of the services for which a use of the selected service by a user of the selected service is simulated by one of the point of presence servers where the one point of presence server transfers the test pattern associated with the selected service to the other point of presence server, the master controller being adapted to receive information associated with the quality level of the distributed telecommunication network from one of the point of presence servers.
