Speed Test Tips for Barranquilla Residents

• Wired baseline first: plug directly into the router with a CAT5e/CAT6 cable before blaming your ISP — Wi-Fi overhead hides the true line speed
• Test at two times of day: once mid-morning and once between 7–10 PM to see how shared infrastructure behaves under load
• Look past download: upload, ping, and jitter predict video-call and cloud-backup quality far better than a big download number
• Worst-case, not average: run 3–5 back-to-back tests and record the lowest result — that's the number your real-time apps actually hit
