Independence
No broadband provider, network, equipment maker or public body has paid for, reviewed or approved any page on this site. We carry no advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content. If that ever changes, every paid link will be clearly labelled and this page will be updated first.
Sources
We work from primary sources wherever they exist: Ofcom's Connected Nations reports and consumer guidance, GOV.UK and the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments, the House of Commons Library, and the published plans, prices and terms of operators such as Openreach and Starlink. Trade press and comparison sites are used to find leads; when a claim rests only on such a source, the guide says so in the text.
Every guide ends with a list of the sources it used, with the date they were accessed.
Dates and checking
Each guide shows the date its facts were last checked. Figures that move quickly, such as satellite prices, scheme deadlines and coverage percentages, are given with the date they refer to. We keep a log of claims that will go out of date and re-check them against the original source on or before a set date.
What we will not do
- Invent case studies, quotes, test results or figures.
- Present a promotional price as the normal price.
- Tell you a scheme is open without checking the scheme's own page.
Corrections
If a guide is wrong or out of date, we correct it, change the "facts checked" date and, where the change is material, say what changed.
