Broadband for working from home: build for calls and uploads
Compare broadband for home working using upload speed, video-call stability, backup connectivity, Wi-Fi coverage and contract terms.
Start with the shape of the decision
Home working makes upload capacity and reliability visible. The right service is the one that keeps calls stable in the room you work from while the rest of the household is online.
Free checks first
- Run a test from the desk during a normal working day.
- Check whether a cable or a better router position fixes call quality.
- Test phone tethering as a backup before paying for a second connection.
