Why am I seeing a "Poor Network" error even if my internet seems fine?

Updated over 2 months ago

If you’re encountering a "Poor Network" error despite adequate internet speeds, it could be due to:

  • Fluctuating Speeds: Inconsistent connectivity can trigger errors even if speed tests show good results. Running multiple tests can help identify stability issues.

  • Background Applications: Bandwidth-heavy apps like streaming services or cloud backups can interfere. Ensure they are closed during your interview.

  • Alternative Networks: Consider switching to a mobile hotspot or cellular data, as this can sometimes offer a more stable connection.

  • Wired Connection: Using a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi can reduce fluctuations and improve reliability.

What internet speed is required for Hyring interviews?

To ensure optimal performance during your interview, we recommend:

  • Minimum Speed: 50 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload for smooth operation.

  • Consistency Over Speed: Even with adequate speeds, connection stability is crucial. A wired connection is ideal for minimizing interruptions.

  • Importance of Upload Speed: A strong upload speed is essential to prevent disruptions as your responses are recorded and uploaded in real-time.
