• Fiber-to-the-home: symmetric by design, lowest jitter, and the most reliable under real-world load
• Coax, copper, and fixed-wireless: competitive download figures, but upload and peak-time performance vary by neighborhood and time of day
• What "good" looks like: a wired test in the 80–95% range of your advertised speed, with upload in the same ballpark your plan promises

Speed Test Tips for Monterrey 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
