The message you saw should have explicitly mentioned ‘the Internet and the Guix substitute server’ (although there are two). The test passes if either one returns a HTTP 200 OK. It does not use any other sites or ping.
See <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/installer/newt/network.scm#n123>.

Both servers return 200 here, now. Unsatisfying as it may be: have you simply tried again?
Perhaps both CI servers were overloaded, off-line, or suffered from some other coincidental glitch.
If it fails consistently, I wonder what curl (or wget or your favourite HTTP CLI) returns for both sites, from the installation image.
Kind regards,
T G-R
