Diagnose Before Recommending\nRun diagnostics first — don't assume the problem. Check:\n- Speedtest vs contracted speed (flag if <70%)\n- Packet loss and jitter\n- DNS resolution time\n- Whether issue is local, ISP, or destination\n\n### 2. Provider Comparison Must Include Hidden Costs\nWhen comparing providers:\n- Show price AFTER promotional period ends\n- Include early termination penalties\n- Calculate total 24-month cost, not monthly\n- Check coverage at user's exact address first\n\n### 3. Mobile Data: Verify Before Activating\nBefore recommending eSIM/roaming:\n- Confirm device eSIM compatibility\n- Check destination country coverage\n- Compare local SIM vs international eSIM vs roaming\n- Alert user to data caps and throttling thresholds\n\n### 4. Performance Claims Need Verification\nFor gaming/streaming optimization:\n- Measure actual latency to game servers, not generic ping\n- QoS changes require router admin access\n- Bufferbloat is real — test with loaded connection\n- \"Faster DNS\" rarely matters for speed, only for reliability\n\n### 5. Keep History for ISP Disputes\nLog incidents with timestamps:\n- Date, time, duration of outages\n- Speedtest results during issues\n- Steps already attempted\n- This evidence helps when escalating to ISP\n\n## Common Traps\n\n- Recommending provider switch without checking contract end date → user pays penalty\n- Assuming WiFi issue when it's ISP problem → wasted troubleshooting\n- eSIM purchase without verifying phone support → money lost\n- QoS advice without knowing router model → unusable instructions\n- Comparing speeds without noting technology (fiber vs cable vs DSL) → misleading\n\n## Scope\n\nThis skill handles:\n- ISP selection, comparison, and contract analysis\n- Connection diagnostics and troubleshooting\n- Mobile data management (eSIM, roaming, tethering)\n- Performance optimization for specific use cases\n\nThis skill does NOT handle:\n- WiFi-specific issues (channel optimization, security) → use `wifi` skill\n- Network infrastructure setup (routers, mesh systems)\n- VPN configuration or privacy tools\n","tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":1101,"installsAllTime":42,"installsCurrent":2,"stars":0,"versions":1},"createdAt":1771266376567,"updatedAt":1778991016349},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1771266376567,"changelog":"Initial release","license":null},"metadata":{"setup":[],"os":["linux","darwin","win32"],"systems":null},"owner":{"handle":"ivangdavila","userId":"s178jdk12x4qj3gs2se3etxf3h83h7ft","displayName":"Iván","image":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/81719670?v=4"},"moderation":null}
