Notes: Guidance to client employers, not an applicant rule; recommends backup internet such as pocket WiFi

Do you meet it?

Run a 25-second test from where you will work, on the device you will use. You'll see a pass or fail against Somewhere.com's published minimum, and get a permanent result link our server measured itself, with the city it ran in. You can send that link with your application instead of a screenshot.

Testing on WiFi when they require a cable? Plug in first: WiFi is usually slower and less steady, and some employers check how you are connected.
