In São Paulo, fibre deployment time is set by the building, not the city. If the fibre already enters the property, activation is days. If it does not, you are waiting on civil works and municipal permits, and weeks is optimistic.
Three things delay activation most: condominium authorisation to run cable, missing internal infrastructure between the hall and your floor, and licensing for work on the public way.

São Paulo is the easiest place in Brazil to get fiber and still the place where most people underestimate the schedule. Density helps with price and with choice. It does not help with permits, building access or the fact that the street outside your office may already be full.
More carriers pass more buildings here than anywhere else in the country, and the carrier-neutral data center market is concentrated in and around the metro area. That means real competition on price, more than one viable supplier at most commercial addresses, and short backhaul to wherever your traffic needs to go.
A desk check tells you fiber exists nearby. A physical survey tells you whether it can enter your building and by which route. Only the second one is worth planning around, and quotes routinely cite the first.
In a multi-tenant building the administrator has to authorise the work, and in some buildings an incumbent provider has a comfortable arrangement and no incentive to make a competitor's install easy. This is frequently the longest single delay and it is entirely non-technical.
If the fiber is not already at the door, someone is opening the pavement, and that runs on the city's timeline rather than yours.
Getting from the building entry to your floor sounds trivial and is not, particularly in older buildings where the risers are full and the route has to be improvised.
