1. Our Editorial Mission
Spexo publishes original tools and content to help everyday internet users understand their connection without jargon or sales pressure. This Editorial Policy explains the standards we hold ourselves to when writing, reviewing, and publishing anything on this site — whether it's a static page like this one or a future article.
2. Independence & No Pay-for-Placement
Spexo's speed-test methodology, ratings (e.g. what counts as "good" ping or "stable" jitter), and written explanations are determined solely by our editorial team based on technical accuracy and user benefit. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage of any internet service provider, hardware brand, or related product, and no advertiser has editorial input into our content or test results.
3. Accuracy & Fact-Checking
- Technical claims (e.g. how ping or jitter is calculated) are reviewed against publicly documented networking standards before publication.
- Numeric thresholds used in our ratings (such as what qualifies as "excellent" latency) are based on widely cited real-time application requirements (VoIP, video conferencing, competitive gaming) and are disclosed openly rather than hidden.
- We correct factual errors promptly once identified — see Section 6 for our correction process.
4. Human Oversight of AI-Assisted Content
Where AI tools are used to help draft or research content, every piece is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human editor before publication. We do not publish raw, unedited AI output. Content must demonstrate genuine value, accuracy, and clarity for readers — not just fill a page for the sake of it.
5. Sourcing Standards
When we reference external facts, standards, or figures, we aim to link to primary or authoritative sources (e.g. official documentation, standards bodies, or well-established technical references) rather than relying on secondhand summaries.
6. Corrections Policy
If you spot an error on Spexo — whether a factual mistake, an outdated figure, or a broken explanation — please tell us via our Contact page. We review every report and update affected pages as needed. Material corrections are reflected by updating the page's "Last updated" date.
7. Advertising & Content Separation
Advertisements displayed on Spexo (via Google AdSense or similar networks) are clearly distinguishable from editorial content and are never designed to be mistaken for our own recommendations. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how we handle any commission-based links, and our Advertise With Us page for how sponsored placements (if any) are labeled.
8. User-Submitted Content
Content submitted through our Write for Us program is reviewed for accuracy, originality, and alignment with this Editorial Policy before publication. Contributors retain byline credit; Spexo retains the right to edit submissions for clarity, accuracy, and house style.
9. Questions About This Policy
For questions about how a specific page or claim was researched, contact editorial@spexo.net.
10. Our Publishing Workflow
- Research: topics are reviewed for usefulness, relevance and available evidence.
- Drafting: content is structured for clarity, accessibility and practical value.
- Review: technical claims, links, calculations and important limitations are checked before publication.
- Updates: pages may be refreshed when methods, products, standards, services or other material facts change.
11. Speed-Test Methodology Transparency
Our explanations distinguish measured values from estimates and general guidance. We avoid presenting a single test as a universal representation of an ISP or geographic area, because network performance changes with time, location, infrastructure and usage.
12. Reader Feedback
Readers can report factual errors, outdated information, broken links or unclear explanations through our Contact page. Feedback is considered on its merits; submitting feedback does not guarantee a particular editorial outcome.
