Speed Test Tips for Marseille Residents

• Use Ethernet for the true line speed: even a modern Wi-Fi 6 router can cap or inflate results depending on distance, interference, and channel width
• Test morning and evening separately: ISP networks are provisioned for average load, not peak — prime-time slowdowns are the most telling metric
• Track upload as carefully as download: a "fast" line with slow upload will still drop video calls and stall file backups
• Record the minimum across a burst of tests: a single high number is easy to catch; what matters is the floor your connection hits under real conditions
