I can believe it. I imagine a potential employer would be concerned about that especially if it’s a work from home thing.

It’s too bad really, because it’s entirely out of your control for the most part.

I do all my work from home (free lance), but I always use wired Ethernet to minimize potential problems.

Ethernet won't help you, when your home connection is POS... Speaking from my own experience.

Yeah but isn't the point?

Dropping in and out during an interview or meeting with the customer is going to look bad either way. It's like showing up late or under dressing to the interview.

And I say this as someone who had to buy 2 mobile Internet connections and an expensive router with dual WAN, and fail over, to compensate for my shitty home connection.

I just wanted to clarify. Some people might get the feeling that once they connect via ethernet at home, everything is fine and bulletproof. Which might not be the case.
