Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a business plan for remote work?
Not necessarily. A high-quality residential plan with good upload speeds is often sufficient. However, if you need features like static IPs or enhanced support, consider a business plan.

Consider a mobile broadband plan or tethering as a backup. Some providers offer hybrid plans that automatically switch to 4G/5G if your main connection fails.

Use a wired connection, ensure adequate bandwidth, close unnecessary applications, and consider QoS settings to prioritize video traffic.
