Cultural Tip

In Italy, internet providers often market "connessione gigabit" even though the real‑world speed can fluctuate due to network congestion, hardware limits, or the type of connection (fiber vs. cable). When speaking to native speakers, it’s common to qualify the claim with "in teoria" (in theory) or "al massimo" (at most).
