WHAT TO OBSERVE
A meeting is a task, not a speed number.
Think about the platform, call length and whether you need video or audio. A speed-test number alone does not tell you whether your meeting will work.
WHEN THE PLAN CHANGES
The backup deserves a line too.
Decide what you will do if the connection does not meet the task: use suitable Wi-Fi, move location or postpone. Keep the exact plan’s hotspot restrictions in mind.
Keep a backup for the important call.
A travel connection can vary with the place, network and device. Plan around the work that matters.
