In addition, you will need an Internet connection with sufficient bandwidth. Most courses will view best with a downstream bandwidth of at least 1Mbps. For the smoothest playback, we recommend a downstream bandwidth of at least 1.5Mbps for our larger courses and videos.
You can test your downstream bandwidth by going to www.speedtest.net. Click the green triangle on the map to initiate a speed test (if none of the triangles are green, select one close to your geographic location). Once complete, your downstream bandwidth is displayed in the Download box near the top of your screen.
