ISPs at a glance

Measured speeds are wired-test ranges observed across consumer plans; actual figures depend on plan tier, address, and time of day.

Speed Test Tips

• Buenos Aires has the country's best infrastructure — provincial cities may see significantly lower max speeds
• Test at peak hours (9–11 PM) — Argentine prime time is late and ISP congestion peaks accordingly
• Cable plans from Fibertel and Claro offer faster download but limited upload — check upload if you work remotely
• Economic conditions affect ISP investment cycles — check local forums for real user reports in your city
