What Liberty Mutual actually says
“Wired connected high-speed internet with a minimum of >25 Mbps download speed and >5 Mbps upload speed, through a cable, fiber, or DSL service.”— Liberty Mutual remote job postings and employer FAQ · source
Note that Liberty Mutual names the delivery method as well as the speed — cable, fiber or DSL. That phrasing rules out satellite and fixed wireless by technology rather than by performance, the same approach American Express takes. Some Liberty Mutual listings quote a lower floor of 5 dedicated Mbps with 20 or more recommended, so the figure varies by role; treat 25/5 as the safe target.
What passes for Liberty Mutual
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 Liberty Mutual'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 Liberty Mutual 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 / 5 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Liberty Mutual internet questions, answered
No. Liberty Mutual 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 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Liberty Mutual does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Liberty Mutual does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
