Reading Reviews: Expert Advice

What to look for when evaluating a provider's performance.

Get it if...

  • •You want to know about the actual router range in a typical UK brick-wall home.
  • •You need to know how reliable a provider's 'WiFi Guarantee' really is.
  • •You want to understand the true cost after the initial discount period expires.
  • •You're curious about peak-time slowdowns in specific urban areas.

Skip it if...

  • •Don't rely on reviews from customers who haven't yet reached their first 'out-of-contract' period.
  • •Avoid reviews that don't mention the specific hardware (hub) being used.
  • •Ignore reviews that complain about speeds without mentioning if they tested via Ethernet.

The Bottom Line

"Reviews are subjective, but patterns aren't. If you see multiple people complaining about the Hub 4's range, it's likely a real hardware limitation you should factor into your decision."

How We Review

Our review process takes 12 weeks for every major provider. We don't just look at speed tests; we interview current customers, analyze thousands of Trustpilot entries for recurring patterns, and even contact support at 3 AM to test their response times.

  • We purchase packages anonymously to avoid 'VIP treatment'.
  • Router range is tested across a 3-storey victorian house.
  • Latency is tracked every 15 minutes for 14 days straight.
  • We factor in the complexity of the cancellation process.
