The Internet Speed Capability Assessment checks whether your network connection is suitable for tasks on Effect Alpha that require stable, responsive connectivity.
Completing this test may unlock capabilities that allow access to workflows requiring reliable internet performance, such as real-time tasks, audio workflows, or latency-sensitive operations.
