It's a requirement for remote work; could be included under Benefits or maybe under Schedule? It's about work arrangement. Could be included under Benefits as a note. But we can keep it as part of Benefits: "Work from home options available with wired internet connection (non-satellite/cellular) minimum upload 5Mbps, download 10Mbps."

Now construct HTML. We'll have:
