What Fiserv actually says
“Speed/Stability Requirements- 30mbps download, 15mbps upload, less than 50ms average latency, cannot exceed 125ms max latency and hardwired directly to router. ISP requirements- no cellphone tower-based internet such as T-Mobile 5G or Verizon 5G home internet due to high latency and fluctuating network conditions. The only recommended Internet service types are fully wired-based connections including DSL, Broadband, Cable, and Fiber Optic services.”— Fiserv — Remote Fraud Customer Service Associate (via Georgia Fintech Academy Job Board) · source
Max latency cannot exceed 125ms. Also excludes community/apartment-complex internet due to CGNAT. Posting has since closed.
What passes for Fiserv
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 Fiserv'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 Fiserv 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 30 Mbps down / 15 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Fiserv internet questions, answered
No. Fiserv 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 30 Mbps download and 15 Mbps upload, with latency at or below 50 ms. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Fiserv does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
No. Hotspots and 5G home internet are cellular services that share capacity on a tower, so Fiserv cannot guarantee a shift on them. They are excluded even when a speed test looks good.
