What Erie Insurance actually says
“All Employees that work remotely must have access to internet service bandwidth speeds that meet ERIE's requirement of 50 mbps download and 10 mbps upload.”— Erie Insurance Inside Claims Representative I job posting (Raleigh, NC) · source
Posting lists the role as company-wide Work from: Remote; this is ERIE's standard bandwidth requirement applied to all remote employees.
What passes for Erie Insurance
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 Erie Insurance'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 Erie Insurance 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.

Erie Insurance internet questions, answered

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.
Erie Insurance does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Erie Insurance does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
