Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'internet' is a feminine noun, so adjectives must be feminine (e.g., 'barata'). When asking about prices, it's common to mention the provider's name (Vivo, Claro, Oi, TIM) and the monthly fee. Politeness matters; you can soften the question with 'por favor' or use the formal 'o senhor/a senhora' in a store.
