@Dashrender And what if the buyer isn't at the facility where the bulk of the participants are joining from? Or what if there are participants joining from a starbucks or mc.d's etc. . .
Then we'd have misleading information and the supposed promise of a successful product delivery.
LOL like you can ever get away from that! Then you list in HUGE letters - these tests need to be done from any locatoin that will be used for this training to ensure compatibility.
Eh.... "conditions apply dial-up internet not supported. TWC $14.99 not supported"
I see the customers running already...

I think you might have failed long before you come to this point.
Why not back this whole thing up.
On your website that talks about your services, have a button that says - test my connection to make sure this service will work for you. have you web team install their own speed test - thing - and you can do a test directly from your own system to make sure they won't have any issues because they even look any further.
The issue with this is that we could potentially loose clients without even knowing about them. And we can still provide our service, just a less bandwidth intense variety of it.
Maybe just detect the speed and adapt accordingly.

Our system does this already, and the result is an unacceptable live product. There are other solutions, but others put the cart before the horse here and bought expensive software and are determined to "make it work".

This happens all the time - and internet connections change, you the resller can't control that.

Yes it really is... I had a solid solution, explained why, and for 1 minuscule reason it was veto'd. Yet it offers us the best option, without the need to worry about the clients internet bandwidth....
so... just ask "how fast is your internet?"
