Elevance Health requires remote associates to work on a hard-wired network connection meeting a minimum of 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. Equipment is supplied by the company.
What Elevance Health actually says
“Associates must have the capability to work with a hard-wired network connection, with an Internet speed that meets the minimum speed requirements of 50 mb download and 10 mb upload.”— Elevance Health remote job postings (work-from-home requirements section) · source
Elevance Health was renamed from Anthem, Inc. in 2022, and older postings and third-party guides still use the Anthem name. Elevance supplies the equipment; the connection is yours. We found no published Elevance statement excluding satellite specifically — the hard-wired requirement is the operative rule, and satellite would fail it on connection type before speed ever mattered.
What passes for Elevance Health
A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit: upload speed matches download, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.
If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past Elevance Health's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.
Before your Elevance Health tech check
- Confirm a wired provider reaches your address.
- Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
- Run a speed test on the wired line (target: at least 50 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Elevance Health internet questions, answered
No. Elevance Health requires your work computer to be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable. A strong Wi-Fi signal does not satisfy the rule, because the check looks at how the computer is connected rather than how fast the line is.
At least 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Elevance Health does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Elevance Health does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
