Typical measured speeds for Daegu, South Korea residents: 500 Mbps – 10 Gbps. For the true ISP-side number, test over Ethernet; Wi-Fi introduces a separate stack of variables (signal strength, channel congestion, client radio) that can skew results by 10–30%.

• Fiber: best-in-class symmetry and consistency — upload tracks download, and latency rarely spikes even under load
• Shared-medium plans (cable, DSL, mobile broadband): strong download numbers, but upload and peak-hour stability are the common weak spots
• Comparison rule of thumb: if your wired speed test comes in below 80% of your plan, something in the path — modem, router, line, or provider — is underperforming

• Run one test in the morning and one in the evening; the gap between them reveals ISP congestion
• Note your upload and ping, not just download — those numbers matter for Zoom, gaming, and streaming
• Run several tests in a row and use the minimum result; peak-hour dips are what affect real usage
