Given a lot commenters seem to be working remotely, what sort of internet speeds are you getting or any other challenges you have run into?

I am thinking of potentially working out of Kauai or Hawaii but I am concerned about internet connectivity among other things.

Last week I did a speed test from the condo I was staying in Kapaa and got 35/5 mbps which isn't terrible. Right now on the mainland I only get 50/5 mbps and that works well enough for video chat.



I don't know about other islands, but on Oahu you can get up to 300 down with Oceanic TWC. I was pleasantly surprised.


Wow that is significantly better than my mainland connection but I live in a rural college town right now (also TWC). What is the upload like?

Also do you have issues with latency or other network performance issues with the mainland? I have found video chatting and screen sharing to be useful tools when working remotely.
