· We here at The ISP List build our re­views aro­und ce­r­tain guide­li­nes, but keep in mi­nd that we al­so ha­ve dif­fe­rent re­view­ers with dif­fe­rent opi­ni­ons and wri­ting sty­les. Wri­ters aren't ex­pec­ted to stri­c­tly fol­low the re­views and ra­tings of ISPs that they di­dn't re­view them­selv­es. Some­ti­mes this leads to no­ti­ce­able dif­fe­ren­ces be­t­we­en re­views and ra­t­ings of dif­fe­rent ISPs.

· The bot­tom li­ne is that no two co­m­pa­ni­es are ali­ke, and no two sets of ne­eds are the sa­me the­re­fo­re our re­views con­si­der each pro­vi­der on its own me­rits. This me­ans that ev­en for si­mi­lar ISPs, we re­view each in­di­vi­du­al com­pa­ny by it­self on its own terms, in­stead of just try­ing to keep our ra­tings of the­se ISPs in li­ne with each other. So even tho­ugh our re­vi­ews will ide­al­ly be wri­t­ten with the sa­me ex­act sta­n­dards, dif­fe­rent pe­o­ple wri­te for The ISP List -- so not eve­ry re­view will fol­low eve­ry oth­er re­view 100 per­cent of the time.
