feat: "WiFi vs Mobile Data" comparison — is your home WiFi actually faster? #53

Description

@ajithakdev

Summary

Let users compare their home WiFi speed against typical mobile data speeds in their area, answering the common question: "Is my WiFi even worth it?"

The problem

Many users in India (and globally) wonder:

  • "My Jio 4G gives me 40 Mbps. My BSNL broadband gives me 15 Mbps. Why am I paying for broadband?"
  • "Should I just hotspot my phone instead of fixing my router?"

How it works

  1. After a test, show a comparison card:
📶 Your WiFi: 15 Mbps / 85ms ping
📱 Typical 4G in your area: 25-40 Mbps / 45ms ping
📱 Typical 5G in your area: 100-300 Mbps / 15ms ping

⚠️ Your WiFi is slower than average mobile data!
   Consider: upgrading your plan, or checking your router.
  1. Mobile data benchmarks sourced from:
    • Cloudflare Radar data (public API)
    • TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) published benchmarks
    • Ookla's public Speedtest Intelligence reports
    • User can also manually enter their mobile data speed for personal comparison

Why

  • Helps users make informed decisions about their internet setup
  • Unique feature — no speed test extension does this
  • Particularly relevant in India where mobile data is often faster than fixed broadband
  • Drives ISP accountability: "Even my phone is faster than your broadband"
