You are required to maintain high-speed internet access during normal business hours for regular business use. The internet speed must be sufficient for normal business use. At a minimum, you should have high speed internet service in your Franchised Business with a minimum speed of 30 MBPS download and 5 MBPS upload.
Wireless internet at your Franchised Business location is permitted for private use and/or for public guest internet access. If you provide guest access to wireless internet, you should add a designated line, if feasible, to avoid impacting your business operations. If a dedicated guest line is not feasible, you should obtain internet service for the Franchised Business with a minimum speed of 50 MBPS download and 10 MBPS upload. All guest wireless lines must comply with our System Standards and all PCI Compliance Standards to provide safe, clean internet browsing.
