09 December 2024Higher bitrates drove several increases this month on the Netflix ISP Speed Index, our monthly update on which internet service providers (ISPs) provide the best prime-time Netflix streaming experience.
Twelve countries and regions were in the top performance tier in November: Denmark, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United Kingdom all registered an average speed of 3.4 Mbps.
Twenty-eight percent of ISPs increased by 0.4 Mbps, and 64% rose by 0.2 Mbps this month; however, no individual ISP showed gains outside these increases. Meanwhile, three ISPs experienced losses. BOnline in Kuwait and Saigontourist Cable Television in Vietnam both dropped 0.2 Mbps, falling from 2.6 to 2.4 Mbps, while Oi Internet in Brazil also decreased by 0.2 Mbps, dropping from 2.2 to 2.0 Mbps.
Fourteen countries and regions experienced an overall speed increase of 0.4 Mbps since October’s results. Greece and Poland rose from 2.8 to 3.2 Mbps, while Denmark, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United Kingdom all increased from 3.0 to 3.4 Mbps this month.
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.
