• Fiber connections: symmetric upload and download, lowest latency, and the most stable performance under peak load — ideal for remote work and cloud workflows
• Cable, DSL, and fixed-wireless: usually fast download but slower upload, and more likely to dip 20–40% during 7–10 PM peak hours on shared local segments
• Benchmark against your plan: a healthy wired result should land within 80–95% of your advertised speed; anything consistently lower is worth flagging with your ISP

Speed Test Tips for Porto Alegre Residents

• Rule out Wi-Fi: a single Ethernet test tells you whether a slow result comes from your ISP or from your local wireless
• Compare peak vs. off-peak: if your evening speed drops 20%+ from your morning result, the bottleneck is likely outside your home
• Watch upload and latency: these are what determine call quality, gaming responsiveness, and cloud-sync speed
• Repeat and record: no single test is definitive — keep a short log of download, upload, and ping over several days
