Editorial policy
Editorial policy
These are the rules every page on Speed Check Hub follows. If you find a page that breaks one, please tell us.
One page, one real question
We write a page only when it answers a distinct question someone actually has, such as why upload is slow on cable, or what a Zoom call needs. We do not publish near-identical pages for keyword variations, and we merge pages that end up covering the same ground.
Sources first
- Numbers come from primary sources: the service's own help pages, standards documents, protocol specifications or peer-reviewed research. Each is linked where it is used.
- When we describe a real user's problem, we link the public post and report their numbers as they posted them. We do not invent quotes, testers or test results.
- When we have not tested something ourselves, the page says so.
Calculators
Each calculator shows its formula. Any assumption that is ours rather than a published figure, such as extra headroom on top of a stream's bitrate, is labelled as an assumption and can be changed by you.
Dates and corrections
A page's date changes only when its substance changes, not when the site is redeployed. Factual corrections are listed with their date at the bottom of the page they affect.
Use of AI tools
We may use software, including AI tools, to help draft, check spelling or find sources. A person checks every fact and every number against its source before a page is published, and is responsible for what it says.
Independence
No internet provider, router maker or advertiser reviews or pays for our content. If that ever changes for a page, the page will say so at the top.
