How we check facts
Every number on this site comes from a named source with a date. Here’s the method.
Sources, in order of trust
- The company’s own words: Starlink’s help center, Specifications and plan documents; Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo support pages for NAT types; NVIDIA, Xbox and PlayStation pages for cloud gaming; the streaming and satellite TV providers’ own plan and help pages.
- Independent measurement: national speed and latency reports (for example Ookla’s), labeled with the report and its date.
- Press: only when nothing better exists, and always labeled.
Dates
Each page shows when its facts were last checked. We change that date only when we actually re-check the facts, never to look fresh. TV and streaming prices carry the date we saw them; they change often.
Limits first
On every page that could lead to an order, the limits (ping spikes, NAT, trees in the dish’s way, data, price changes) come before any referral button, together with a “Sit this one out if…” box. If Starlink is the wrong pick for a situation, we say so.
Words we avoid
We never promise a match without lag, a speed or ping at your home, or a reward we don’t control: speeds are what providers call expected, not a promise. We don’t give tips on pirated streams, unauthorized IPTV boxes or getting around a streaming service’s location rules.
Tools and writing
Pages may be drafted with software help; every fact, title, description and image caption is checked against the source before it’s published.
