Slow evenings. Dropped calls. An ISP that says there's no fault on their end. A small device plugs into your router, checks your line every 10 seconds, and tells you with certainty whether the problem is yours or theirs.
The broadband problem in numbers
ISPs are required to deliver what they sell you.
Most don't. And they count on you not being able to prove it.
Ofcom receives thousands of broadband complaints every year. The most common outcome is nothing — because without hard data, it's your word against your ISP's own diagnostic tools.
NetCheck changes the equation. It builds a timestamped record of exactly what your connection delivers, every 10 seconds, whether you're at your desk or not. When something goes wrong, the evidence is already there.
How it works
01
The NetCheck device connects to your router via ethernet. No app setup, no configuration. It starts monitoring the moment it's plugged in.
02
Latency and packet loss are checked continuously. Speed tests run three times a night, plus an automatic test the moment a fault is detected.
03
Every fault is logged with timestamps and traced to its source: your home network or your ISP. When you need to complain, the case is already built.
What you get
Checks every 10 seconds, around the clock, against multiple independent servers
Three per night, timed to match real usage patterns — plus an instant test when a fault fires
Analyses the network path between your device and the internet to confirm whether the fault is in your home or on your ISP's infrastructure
Every event recorded with exact timestamps, data values, and attribution. Ready for ISP complaints and Ofcom referrals.
Full history, charts, and incident reports visible from any device, any time
