Internet speed tiers explained

A cheaper internet plan is not necessarily a better deal if it provides a materially different service. Download speed is one of the key details BUSTYA uses when trying to keep internet comparisons meaningful.

Why speed matters

Plans with different speed capabilities should not automatically be treated as equivalent. When BUSTYA knows your current speed, it can use that information when checking compatible alternatives.

What if the bill does not show a speed?

Some bills make the speed clear in the plan name or service details; others do not. Missing information reduces how tightly an automated comparison can match the current service, so BUSTYA distinguishes confirmed information from unknown information rather than inventing a speed.

Price still matters—but compare like with like

Ongoing monthly price is useful when comparing plans, but it should be considered alongside speed, data allowance and the type of internet service available.
