What Records Should I Keep from the Tests to Share with Professionals?

After you finish testing, create a concise test log for each room. Record the provider used, the device, the date and time, and the observed results (speed tests, latency, and whether video calls worked in real time). Note whether fibre reaches the unit or only the building, and who owns or maintains any internal cabling or feeds. Include outages during the testing window and whether backup power or generators were involved. Take photos of the modem or wall outlets, cables and meters, and keep copies of any speed test screenshots. Record observations about common areas and shared infrastructure, including who pays for maintenance. A neighbour’s report or a map is not proof for hillside villas or dense condos, so rely on property-specific documentation. If you’re remote and rely on video calls, test with real calls at different times, not just fixed speed tests. Share the log with independent professionals—e.g., a local technician or solicitor—so they can confirm whether the property’s internet setup meets your needs before you commit money. Finally, verify the basics (meter, supply, internal system, and who pays for shared infrastructure) as the initial guidance described.
