Splitting fast internet for two remote workers
Check the available providers, upload speed, modem placement, and typical reliability. Divide the cost equally if both people depend on it for work. Add a clear rule about large downloads, gaming, or backups during critical call hours.
Place the router openly and avoid hiding it in a closet or behind heavy furniture. Keep the account, support number, and restart steps in a shared note. Each worker should also have a backup, such as phone tethering or a nearby workspace.
Fast internet is shared infrastructure, not one roommate’s perk.
