Connectivity
Internet, mobile data and backup routes treated as production inputs.
Key facts
| Main line | Home fibre, cable or mobile |
|---|---|
| Backup | Second line, hotspot or day pass |
| Check | Upload speed and latency |
Availability is address-specific
Coverage maps describe a neighbourhood, not a building. Fibre may stop at the street, and an installed line may be inactive or contested. Ask the provider to check the exact address and give an installation date.
Until the line is live, treat mobile data as the primary connection. Keep enough data allowance for video calls and check whether tethering is limited.
Frequently asked questions
Is mobile data enough for full-time work?
For light use, often. For daily video calls and large uploads, check the allowance, the speed after the cap and the tethering rules.
How should I test a connection?
Test upload speed, latency and stability at working hours, not just download speed. A short call over the line is the practical test.
