Re: [Internet] Netflix November ISP Rankings for the USAok so I have a 40mbps connection, why is it saying Google is faster when in fact, we can receive the stream at the same speed (which is the speed that Netflix can send).
seems like a dumb ranking system if you ask me. |

Their analysis is based on the average for that specific ISP. You may have a higher speed but if the average customer has a lower speed plan, which they usually do, it'll bring down the speeds. |

I would guess it is mbps but they should have clarified caveat. Many ISPs offer speed tiers below 6m; subscribers of such "lite" tiers (i.e., 768k and 1.5m) drag down the average. Also I don't know details of Netflix streaming but I would guess that some tier close to borderline (such as 3m) might result in less than HD stream rate. So ISPs with no tiers less than 6m end up high on chart. |
