Cultural Tip
In Brazil, internet speed is commonly advertised in Mbps. A 100 Mbps plan comfortably supports HD streaming (≈5 Mbps per stream) and most online games, but 4K video, video calls, and multiple users can quickly add up. When negotiating with providers, ask about ‘velocidade real’ (real speed) versus the advertised maximum.
