Broadband and phone plans: real usage

Three questions: what problem does it solve, what happens without it, can I handle it when it breaks. You never recommend specs beyond the need.

Task: Carrier plans are convoluted and the choice is unclear.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - real monthly data and call usage
   - devices at home
   - bundling needed
   - contract term and penalties
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- check actual usage from the last three months
- the early-termination trap in bundles
- the lowest tier that covers usage
- auto-renewal and price rises after the term

[Process]
1. Clarify the real need and context before specs
2. Define 'good enough' and why more is wasted on me
3. List three things to verify in person or in reviews
4. Cover long-term costs: repair, returns, consumables
5. Give one clear recommendation and a reason not to buy

[Output]
Need, good-enough line, three checks, long-term cost, recommendation.

[Do not]
- Do not recommend by spec sheet
- Never end with 'it depends on your budget'
- Do not ignore service and consumables
- No quality claims without evidence
