BCCA started with a small issue, something my Internet Service Provider never thought I would bring up. Despite opting for a gigabit plan, I faced issues buffering content and even live streaming with my office colleagues.
At present, we are in the process of making BCCA a one-stop solution for every user who wants to get a good internet relaying device at home or office. Despite being a relatively new setup, the response, and willingness of readers to take our word for getting a new router or any other gadget are heartening, to say the least.
We plan on going bigger and getting better, with each passing day!
Update 2021: Just so you know, it started a router review resource and to get bigger and better, I’ve started researching and writing about cameras too. And in the next coming days, I’m planning to cover other home improvement, automation and smart home related purchase guides too.
Our Story
Like mentioned above, the site came into existence due to a small issue I faced. Basically, I’d face buffering content, frequent disconnections, etc while using the internet.
The speeds were subpar and certainly not worth the rates I was paying. I ended up losing quite a few important clients as timely contacts were far from possible. Frustrated, I planned on changing the service provider.
But then, before pulling the plug on my relationship with the ISP, I contemplated extensive research. As I started asking around about the speeds, the reviews weren’t uniform. Some of my neighbors were pretty happy with the ISP while some shared opinions similar to mine.
Apparently, it wasn’t the ISP that required cajoling. Instead, as I delved deeper into the nooks and crannies of a homebound internet connection, I realized that my router and modem were the issue. Even though I am an Engineer with a background in telecommunication, the thought of getting the hardware checked didn’t cross my mind.
Assuming it was the work pressure that clouded my judgment! Nevertheless, I collected my wits and realized that all this while I was using a pretty basic dual-band router with a restricted range, no Beamforming, and average throughput.
That was the moment when I had a realization. Internet speeds, as promised by the ISP, are often throttled due to irrelevant hardware choices. Plus, there must be millions of ill-fated users facing similar issues.
But, to what end!
The moment I fixed my internet worries, the thought of starting BCCA jumped my mind. Via this website, I plan on fixing the common yet unnerving issues that might be stealthily eating into your internet speeds.
What started out as a mere idea, aimed at offering reliable resources to the users saddened by their home and office-bound internet connections has taken a bigger form in 2021.
Even though I ideated BCCA to fix internet surfing pain points, the website quickly started gathering attention, making it a family of almost 10 key individuals. As a unit, we believe trial-and-error isn’t the best approach to purchase routers, modems, and other internet-specific hardware.
Instead, what we all need is perspective, vindicated by volumes of research and actionable info!
Our Mission
We aren’t going to war! Instead, we plan on keeping things extremely simple for our readers. As a matter of fact, we consider it our moral responsibility to follow the UTTR approach, as a metric to test every product there is:
U- Use
T- Test
T- Test more, across diverse parameters
R- Review
The UTTR approach determines the final fate of the products.
Things we believe in- Yay or Nay
Routers can be extremely complicated provided you aren’t well-versed with the technology, concepts of networking, band, throughput, and other insights. At BCCA, we believe in reviewing routers whilst continually educating you towards making informed decisions.
Plus, the router reviews on the website are backed by hours of research, hands-on tests, the relevance of modem-router combos, and extensive tests across a wide range of home and office-bound scenarios.
To sum up, BCCA offers Router Advice that you can trust
Convinced already! Take a look at the ethos that we swear by:
- Prioritizing routing technology more than anything else
- Selecting the right features as per your requirements (No long-range router recommendations for a 300Sqft office)
- Busting router myths (Costlier is always better)
We critique and shun….
- Router tweaks that can void the warranty
- Marketed reviews as a part of sponsorship campaigns
- Overspending on the routers
What sets us apart?
We cut the gibberish from the reviews and value transparency more than anything else.
If you are on BCCA looking for a second opinion before purchasing a router, you might be surprised.
We believe in taking the road less traveled by testing and recommending routers that are not influenced by marketing gimmicks. Therefore, you might not always find the big router names on the targeted lists. And even if you find some, you can certainly opt for them, considering the top-shelf evaluative strictness, exhibited by our in-house experts.
Our review goals include:
- A Minimum usage period of 30 days
- At least 2 experts using the same product at the same time
- No ambitious claims
- Careful dissection of every technology from a layman’s perspective
That’s not it…. We also guarantee rewarding purchases.
Our Motive
We are happy to help.
Still, if you want to click on any of our mentioned products, we might just earn a small yet consequential commission.
But then, it’s not a compulsion as we still;
- Detest average products
