Reliability is the product
A connection that drops during calls is a business risk. Budget a backup: mobile hotspot, second line, or a co-working day pass.
Frequently asked questions

Not always, but it is a useful backup for connectivity and for separating work from home.
Can I deduct home-office costs?
Depends on the tax residence and the rules. Ask a local adviser before assuming.
