Built for meetings, not buffering

What matters most for working from home?

Work-from-home broadband needs to stay consistent when you’re on calls, sharing files and using cloud tools. The best packages focus on stability and uploads — so your connection feels smooth all day.

Stable video calls Less freezing, fewer dropouts and clearer audio — even during peak hours.

Fast uploads Essential for Teams/Zoom, screen sharing, cloud backups and sending large files.

Consistent performance Reliable Wi-Fi coverage and steady speeds when multiple devices are online.

Important: “Up to” speeds don’t tell the full story. For remote work, look for providers known for strong evening performance and stable connections — and consider your Wi-Fi setup as part of the solution.

How to choose the right connection

Prioritise stability and upload speed (calls + sharing).
Prefer fibre / full-fibre where available for better reliability.
Check for solid Wi-Fi coverage (mesh can help in larger homes).
If you’re on calls all day, test your ping/jitter too — not just download.

Run a Speed Test

Tip: For the most accurate results, test on Ethernet (or stand next to the router). Wi-Fi congestion can make a good line feel worse.

Quick requirements

What speeds do you actually need?

Most remote work doesn’t need extreme download speeds — but it does need dependable upload and stability. Use this as a simple guide, then compare availability in your area.

Solo worker

Emails, browsing, cloud docs, 1–2 video calls at once.

Good: 30–75Mb • Upload 5–10Mb+

Calls + sharing

Regular Teams/Zoom, screen share, larger uploads and backups.

Better: 75–150Mb • Upload 10–20Mb+

Busy household

Multiple workers/learners + streaming while you’re on calls.

Best: 150Mb+ • Upload 20Mb+

Wi-Fi checklist (often the real issue)

Move the router into an open area (not behind the TV or in a cupboard).
If you have dead spots, consider a mesh system or wired access point.
Use the 5GHz band for close-range speed; 2.4GHz for range through walls.
For important calls, plug in with Ethernet if possible.
