Does your address qualify for SelectQuote?
We check the real network at your exact address — not a coverage map — and tell you straight either way.
SelectQuote's own official Indeed answer sets a published speed floor for remote agents but does not specify a wired-vs-Wi-Fi rule.
What SelectQuote actually says
“SelectQuote provides all equipment, including a monitor, laptop, headset, keyboard, and mouse. However you must have high-speed internet that meets our requirements of 20 mbps download and 20 mbps upload.”— SelectQuote — official company answer on Indeed · source
Answer is posted directly by the SelectQuote company account on Indeed, not a crowdsourced employee answer.
What passes for SelectQuote
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 SelectQuote'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 SelectQuote 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 20 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

SelectQuote internet questions, answered
SelectQuote 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 20 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
SelectQuote does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
SelectQuote does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
