What Teladoc Health actually says
“Access to high-speed, hardwired internet (no Wi-Fi or Satellite, please).”— Teladoc Customer Service Representative, via NexRep (independent contractor program) · source

What passes for Teladoc Health
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 Teladoc Health'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 Teladoc Health 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 and screenshot it.

Teladoc Health internet questions, answered
No. Teladoc Health 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.
No. Teladoc Health excludes satellite service by policy, regardless of the speeds it delivers. This is a rule about connection type, so no speed test will get you past it.
Teladoc Health does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
