What is the Minimum Recommended Internet Speed for Salad?

In order to be eligible for Salad's Container Jobs, you'll need a required minimum download speed of 10 Megabits per second (Mbps). We recommend having at least 100 Mbps download speed to ensure optimal performance and access to a wider range of Jobs, as some Jobs may require higher speeds to keep. Having a slow internet connection may, in some instances, lead to Customers reallocating to a different, faster machine.

    • Download: 10 Mbps.
    • Upload: No required minimum, but 10 Mbps recommended.
