Revit Personal Accelerator keeps the latest changes up to date on the local machine for each recently accessed cloud model, avoiding the need to download those changes each time the model is opened.
  Minimum Value Performance
Connectivity Internet connection able to deliver symmetrical 5 Mbps connection for each machine on burst transfers. Internet connection able to deliver symmetrical 10 Mbps connection for each machine on burst transfers. Internet connection able to deliver symmetrical 25 Mbps connection for each machine on burst transfers.
