11 March 2024Eighty-four percent of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) decreased 0.2 Mbps and 15% stayed the same, resulting in a lower average speed this month on the Netflix ISP Speed Index, our monthly update on which ISPs provide the best prime-time Netflix streaming experience. These are considered normal moves as we roll out new encodes and titles.
There were no significant ISP gains or notable changes to country averages; however, 88% of countries moved down 0.2 Mbps following the previously mentioned bitrate trend. Three ISPs dropped 0.4 Mbps since January’s results. CableColor in Guatemala and Optix in Pakistan fell from 2.8 to 2.4 Mbps. TEVISAT in Honduras decreased from 2.4 to 2.0 Mbps.
Thirty-one countries and regions were in the top performance tier for February: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the United States, all registered an average speed of 3.0 Mbps.
The Netflix ISP Speed Index is a measure of prime-time Netflix performance on a particular ISP and not a measure of overall performance for other services or data that may travel across the specific ISP network. Higher Netflix performance generally means better picture quality, quicker start times, and fewer interruptions. We also created a separate tool to check your current download performance: Visit https://FAST.com on any internet browser or download the FAST Speed Test iOS or Android app.
