How to test the Wi-Fi before you pay
- Run a speed test at the seat you'd use, not at the reception.
- Look at upload as well as download: video calls need upload.
- Run it at the busiest hour (around 10 am to 3 pm).
- Ask if there's a second line from another provider and what happens in a brownout.
- Share your result on the space's page so the next visitor knows.

Staying secure on a shared network
- Use a VPN for client work, or your company's
- Ask whether members get a separate network from guests
- Lock your screen when you leave the desk
- Turn off file sharing and AirDrop for "everyone"
- Prefer a dedicated desk or private office with a wired port for sensitive work

Common questions
What internet speed should a coworking space have?
Ask for at least 25–50 Mbps per person at busy hours, and an upload good enough for video calls.
Do coworking spaces in the Philippines have generators?
Some do: 36 spaces in our list mention backup power on their websites. Always ask.
