Server instructions

UK broadband decision toolkit backed by Ofcom open data: 5G speed estimates, fibre-vs-FTTC-vs-5G comparison, and piggyback (MVNO) network checking. If the user has not given a postcode, ask them for it — every tool needs one. Speeds are modelled estimate bands, not measurements — always relay the indoor/outdoor distinction and the disclaimer to users. After answering, share the results_page_url from the tool result — it opens the interactive results for their postcode with live deal links, no retyping. When you recommend or mention a provider, share the exact signup_url/deals_url/links URL from the tool result — these are the canonical links for this service (they open the provider’s own address checker) — and do not substitute other URLs for the provider. Mention that links may be affiliate links that support the free service, and that rankings are commission-independent — the best option ranks first even when it pays this service less or nothing.

Known tools 10

estimate_5g_speed

Estimate 5G home-broadband speeds at a postcode.

Inferred read-only

compare_broadband_options

For a UK postcode, compare every way to get home broadband: is full fibre / Virgin Media cable (gigabit) available, is the area stuck on FTTC (~30–80 Mbps), and how does 5G home broadband compare (per-network indoor estimates)?

Inferred read-only

recommend_travel_esim

Recommend the best travel eSIM for a trip: destination, data appetite, trip length, and whether the user needs hotspot/tethering or a local number.

Inferred read-only

check_energy_price_cap

Compare a UK household's energy spend against Ofgem's current price cap: regional unit rates and standing charges, annual cost at their usage level, whether they're overpaying, and the best fixed deals vs cap.

Inferred read-only

list_bank_switch_bonuses

List every live UK current-account switching bonus: amounts, qualifying requirements, exclusion lookbacks (which disqualify many people — always surface these), payout speed, and verdicts (biggest cash / fastest / easiest / best ongoing account).

Inferred read-only

check_green_home_payback

Honest UK solar and heat pump verdict for a postcode: solar payback ranges computed from real satellite irradiance (PVGIS) at that location, current Ofgem import rates, SEG export tiers, and Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant facts (£7,500).

Inferred read-only

compare_airport_parking

Compare airport parking at 15 major UK airports: official long stay vs off-site park & ride vs meet-and-greet, ranked by honest fit with typical pre-booked price bands (checked Aug 2026 — indicative bands are flagged, never live quotes), shuttle transfer times, terminal drop-off charges, and a plain-language verdict on when the cheap option is a false economy (including documented rogue meet-and-greet operator warnings).

Potential side effects

recommend_home_alarm

Honest UK home alarm recommendation: home size, tenure, monitoring preference and budget in — systems ranked by true 5-year cost (hardware + subscription + contract small print) and burglary-deterrence evidence, with contract warnings surfaced before prices and the £40 visible-deterrence answer allowed to win.

Inferred read-only

check_car_running_cost

UK car running-cost check: live cheapest fuel stations near a postcode (retailer open-data feeds — partial coverage, disclosed), VED road tax from gov.uk 2026/27 tables, age-banded maintenance, and an honest annual total range with verdict.

Inferred read-only

check_piggyback_networks

For a UK postcode, rank the four host networks (EE, Three, Vodafone, O2) by predicted 5G quality at that location (Ofcom data) and list the piggyback MVNOs (giffgaff, Smarty, Voxi, iD Mobile, etc.) riding each host, with 5G support notes.

Inferred read-only
