Who Should Choose a Premium Plan?
Premium is the right choice if any of these apply to you:
| Use Case | Why premium |
|---|---|
| Remote workers & video callers | Zoom, Teams and Google Meet need upload speed. Premium gives you 250Mbps+ upload, Basic gives you a fraction of that. |
| Content creators & live streamers | Uploading video to YouTube, streaming on Twitch, or sending large files requires fast upload. Premium makes it seamless. |
| Gamers | Symmetrical speeds mean lower latency and more consistent ping, especially important for competitive gaming and game server hosting. |
| Home servers & NAS | Running a Plex server, a backup drive, or a fixed IP service requires strong, consistent upload that Basic can’t reliably deliver |
| Power households | Multiple people working, streaming, and gaming simultaneously, Premium handles it all without anyone slowing anyone else down. |
Why choose Lazer Telecom
Lazer Telecom is a local Algarve internet provider, not a national operator routing your call to a distant call centre. Our dedicated fibre network serves communities from Faro and Loulé to Albufeira, Vilamoura, and Portimão, with a team based right here in the region.
Premium plans are built for users who need symmetrical fibre speeds, where what goes up is as fast as what comes down. If you work remotely, video call daily, run a home server, or create and upload content, a non-symmetrical Basic plan will hold you back. Premium won’t.

What does symmetrical internet speed mean?
Symmetrical internet means your upload speed equals your download speed. On a 500 Mbps Premium plan, you get 500 Mbps both ways. This is critical for video calls, cloud backups, live streaming, and remote desktop sessions — all of which rely heavily on upload speed.
What is the difference between Lazer Basic and Premium Internet?
Basic plans have non-symmetrical speeds — download is faster than upload. Premium plans have equal upload and download speeds. If you mainly browse, stream, and download, Basic is great value. If you video call frequently, upload large files, or work remotely, Premium is the right choice.
Is Lazer Premium internet good for working from home in the Algarve?
Yes — it’s our recommended plan for remote workers. Symmetrical speeds ensure your Zoom or Teams video calls stay crisp, your VPN connection stays stable, and cloud file sync runs in the background without affecting your other tasks.
What speeds are available on Lazer Premium Plans?
Premium plans offer four speed tiers: Silver (250 Mbps symmetrical), Gold (500 Mbps symmetrical), Platinum (750 Mbps symmetrical), and Diamond (1 Gbps symmetrical). All include unlimited traffic.
What Algarve Towns does Lazer Premium cover?

Can I add eero Wi-fi or NordVPN to a premium plan?
Yes. Eero whole-home Wi-Fi and NordVPN are also available as part of our Smart packs. Contact our team for options.
Is symmetrical internet worth the extra cost over Basic plans?
For most households that mainly browse, stream, and download, Basic plans are excellent value. Premium is worth the extra cost specifically if you need fast upload, for remote work video calls, content creation, cloud backups, home servers, or gaming. If your upload speed matters, Premium pays for itself immediately. If it doesn’t, Basic is the smarter choice.
Is Lazer Premium internet good for gaming in the Algarve?
Yes, symmetrical speeds and dedicated fibre make Premium ideal for gaming. Equal upload and download speeds mean more consistent ping and lower latency, especially important for competitive multiplayer. The Diamond plan (1Gbps symmetrical) is ideal for households where gaming and 4K streaming happen simultaneously. For hosting game servers from your Algarve home, a Fixed IP add-on is also recommended.
Can I run a home server or NAS on a Lazer Premium plan?
Yes. Premium’s symmetrical speeds make it well-suited for home servers, NAS drives, Plex servers, and any service that needs to be accessible from outside your network. For reliable external access, we recommend adding a Fixed IP address (€25/month), this gives your server a permanent address that never changes. Contact our team to discuss the best setup for your needs.
How does Lazer Premium compare to big national operators?
Lazer is a local Algarve provider, we own our own fibre network, our support team is based here in the region, and we’ve been operating for over 38 years. Unlike national operators, you won’t wait weeks for installation, you won’t be transferred between departments, and you won’t speak to a call centre abroad.
