how we rank

every comparison table is ranked by a merit score - a weighted combination of price, speed (or equivalent), customer rating, and contract fairness.

merit score formula (broadband example)

  • price - 40%
  • speed - 25%
  • customer rating - 20%
  • contract fairness - 15%

a commercial deal can nudge a deal's position slightly - but never enough to push a meaningfully better deal out of sight. the nudge cap is hard-coded, not adjustable by providers.

you can always switch to a pure price or rating sort using the controls above the table. that removes any commercial nudge entirely.
