## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I want to know if I'm overpaying for internet and why my Wi-Fi feels slow.

My plan: [YOUR INTERNET PLAN, e.g. 1 Gig for $89 a month]
My equipment: [MODEM AND ROUTER, e.g. provider's router, about 6 years old] (or I'll upload a photo of the label)
My home: [YOUR HOME LAYOUT, e.g. 2 floors, router in the basement]
How we use it: [HOW YOU USE IT, e.g. 4 people, streaming, video calls]
I'm uploading speed-test screenshots from next to the router and from [SLOWEST ROOMS, e.g. upstairs office, back bedroom].

Please:
1. Compare my real speeds with what I'm paying for, room by room.
2. Tell me where the bottleneck most likely is (plan, modem, router, placement, or one device) and why.
3. Give me free fixes to try first, in order.
4. If I need new equipment, explain what type to look for in plain English, with a rough price range.
5. Tell me the lowest plan speed that would still cover my household and roughly what I'd save per year.
6. Write a short, friendly script for calling my provider to ask for a better price.
```

## Step by step

1. Run a free speed test next to the router and in your slowest rooms.
2. Screenshot each result and upload them with the prompt.
3. Try the free fixes first, then call your provider with the script.

## What you'll get

A room-by-room speed diagnosis, free fixes, plain-English equipment advice, the right plan size and a call script for your provider.
