  • receiving requests for vehicle services data, the requests being associated with different vehicles each capable of wireless telecommunications over a wireless carrier system;

    attempting wireless communications with the different vehicles via the wireless carrier system to thereby fulfill the requests;

    for each of at least some of the attempted communications, carrying out the following steps;

    (i) determining a service delivery result indicating whether the requested vehicle services data was successfully delivered via the wireless carrier system; and

    (ii) obtaining geographic data that is associated with the wireless carrier system and that is indicative of a geographic region in which the vehicle was situated during the attempted communication; and

    determining, for a particular geographic region, a degradation in performance of the wireless carrier system based on a plurality of the service delivery results that are associated with that particular geographic region.
