Now more than ever, internet access is a lifeline - not a luxury. Our internet connection at home has become our umbilical cord to the outside world.
The way we worked flipped upside down overnight. Suddenly, everyone's home internet connections were essential - not just for work, but also for online learning, live-streamed events and communication with family and friends.
The importance of internet reliability
Working from home is more than just a trend, a bonus perk, or a temporary fix to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Remote work is here to stay, with many companies transitioning to permanent work-from-home roles. It is the new normal way to work for millions of employees in South Africa and across the world.
As employees adjust and adapt to this new virtual workplace, it has become apparent that the technical requirements will play a major role in the success of work-from-home positions.
As a work-from-home employee, the most important thing that you need to succeed in remote work positions is a strong internet connection. This will allow you to complete your work, collaborate with colleagues and stay in contact with customers and suppliers. Without a decent internet signal, you will probably experience grainy video calls, prolonged download times and many more annoying communication issues.
What type of internet speeds do I need?
The first step to deciding what type of internet connection is best for you(be it fibre, lte, adsl or satellite), is to consider what is absolutely necessary to your work.
- Will you need to use Skype, Zoom, or other HD video call platforms?
- Will you need to make voice calls to colleagues and customers? (VoIP calls)
- Do you need to download or upload large files quickly?
- Do you need to watch video content?
