Why another WiFi site?
Most "best ISP" pages are affiliate pages. Ours starts where the problems actually are: the router in a metal cabinet, the 5GHz signal dying at the bedroom wall, the 300 Mbps plan that delivers 40 Mbps over WiFi.
We explain the physics, then the shopping. No jargon, no fake speed numbers.
How we test →Wired vs wireless, peak vs off-peak — the four numbers that tell you where the fault is.
Channel, height, placement, cable — most "slow internet" complaints are solved without paying more.
Only buy a mesh system or a faster plan once the free fixes are exhausted.
