Internet Speed Verifier for Remote Workers
PROVerify WiFi and broadband quality before signing rental leases with comprehensive speed testing strategies, landlord communication templates, and tenant rights documentation for remote workers.
Example Usage
I’m a remote software developer evaluating an apartment for a 12-month lease. My job requires minimum 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload with latency under 100ms for video calls and screen sharing. I visited the property yesterday and ran these speed tests:
- Ookla (WiFi): 45 down / 4.2 up / 67ms
- Fast.com (WiFi): 52 down / 3.8 up
- Ookla (Ethernet): 78 down / 8.1 up / 24ms
Is this connection adequate for my work? What are my bottlenecks? Should I ask the landlord for anything before signing?
