Abstract

The Internet is integral to modern life, with ISPs offering appealing deals to meet the demand for unlimited data. However, reality often falls short of expectations. While recommendation systems exist, user-centric options are rare. This paper proposes a novel ISP selection methodology using user experience data and a Calibrated Random Forest (CRF) model. Unlike traditional methods that focus on advertised features, this approach emphasizes user-defined criteria such as cost, device connectivity, and technical support experience. By analyzing survey data, the model highlights the critical link between user needs and support quality, enabling users to choose ISPs that prioritize customer service. The model demonstrates promising results with a strong R-squared value and low Mean Squared Error (MSE). This user-centric approach fosters informed decision-making, potentially driving competition and encouraging ISPs to improve service standards, laying a foundation for future developments in ISP selection.
