Published criteria
Every score is made of named parts with published weights. Anyone can add the parts up.
Transparency
How we test & rank
WiFiXpert publishes the rules behind every score so households, manufacturers and broadband providers can all check our work.
Evidence first
Manufacturer documentation, official notices and provider terms outrank reviews and forum posts.
Dated and retained
We record the source and the date we checked it, and we keep the evidence.
Confidence is shown
Where evidence is thin, we say so rather than guessing a number.
Versioned methodology
Changes to how we score are versioned and reviewed, not applied quietly.
Independent of money
Affiliate commission, advertising and partnerships have no effect on any score.
