Cultural Tip

In Brazil, 'pra' is the informal spoken form of 'para'. In formal writing or when speaking to someone you don't know well, use 'para' instead: 'Que opções eu tenho para a velocidade?'. Also, when talking about internet plans, it's common to mention the speed in megabits per second (Mbps).
