Netflix Speed Index: How it Works?
Netflix said, “The ISP Speed Index is revamp to identify which ISPs are providing the best Netflix streaming experience during prime time. Previously, We measure ISP performance by testing two ISPs who delivers similar Megabits per second (Mbps) could still have different quality streaming experiences. It also depends on which device is being use 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 will the ISP speeds be compared?”
