Does your address qualify for Humana?
We check the real network at your exact address — not a coverage map — and tell you straight either way.
Humana asks for at least 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload and suggests wireless, cable or DSL — so Wi-Fi is acceptable. Satellite, cellular and microwave connections may be used only with leadership approval, which makes them conditional rather than banned.
What Humana actually says
“Satellite, cellular and microwave connection can be used only if approved by leadership.”— Humana work-at-home requirements, stated in remote job postings · source
Humana is the second employer on this page, after Cigna, whose rule is softer than the industry pattern — it names wireless as an acceptable connection type. Satellite and cellular are not excluded outright but need sign-off, so treat them as a conversation with your leader rather than a yes. Associates in California, Illinois, Montana and South Dakota receive a bi-weekly payment toward the internet bill.
What passes for Humana
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 Humana'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 Humana 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 25 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Humana internet questions, answered
Humana permits Wi-Fi on some programs, but the connectivity scan during onboarding is run on a wired connection. Plan for Ethernet at the desk.
At least 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Humana does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Humana does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
