Netflix Speed Index: How it Works?
Netflix said, “The ISP Speed Index is revamped to identify which ISPs are providing the best Netflix streaming experience during prime time. Previously, we measured ISP performance by testing two ISPs that delivered similar megabits per second (Mbps) and could still have different quality streaming experiences. It also depends on which device is being used to watch the content. The new performance measurement index accounts for differences across what device(s) and encoding scheme(s) each member is on and which Netflix plan they have. We’re essentially asking, If all the parameters were equal (excluding cellular traffic), how would the ISP speeds be compared?”
