I am living in Porto about last 5 years. Here are my comments:
transportation: very good, lots of busses, metro lines, etc. I dont have driver licence and never had a real problem.
internet speeds: portugal has one of the best internet speeds I have seen around europe. I am paying 35 Euros monthly for 60 GB internet connection plus hundreds of channels on TV
types of housing: I would say prices are average. not super high not very low.
aspects of the culture or social life: I am a housebird so I cant comment much on this, HOWEVER, most portuguese cities are pretty alive most of the day.

I wish I knew how easy is to import a bunch of guns in a sea container as household goods, I could have brought my air gun to the Azores. Now I have to buy one.
