Hyde Park, NY | Optimum takes 2nd in Netflix speed index. »ispspeedindex.netflix.com/
my connection has been very reliable since last years upgrades. |

| I see Cox jumped 5 spots! Looks like that free upgrade to like 175Mbps speeds has been paying off (well for Netflix maybe  ). They now have the fastest DOCSIS 3 Tiers* apparently. CV we need (another) free upgrade too!
Pretty good on CV though to be number 2 only to Google Fiber (beating Verizon FiOS? Dafuq? ) Maybe this is a result of that new CDN though, the new SuperHD from Netflix?
(* = Comcast has 305Mbps but that's done on Fiber/Metro-E). |

Brooklyn, NY | It's not only that. Google is #1 not only because it's the fastest "internet connection", but also because when you have it installed Google provides you with new quality wifi devices. Where as customers at the rest of ISPs are running whatever mix of routers, APs, hubs, etc that is in the field.
Watch this video »www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN0_xgsPS0w
Netflix's page says that their results are significantly lower than what ISPs provide because they measure it by all the various routers, wifi devices, phones and even 'smart' TVs, which probably can't pull maximum possible ISP speed.

You would think the google fiber numbers would be much higher than 3.x? |

There are many factors involved. I think it's partially the devices run over google fiber. Phones, iPads, PCs, laptops. Not all of these can go full speed. Also I am sure Netflix servers have limitations that cap the performance. Also not sure if Netflix uses FlashPlayer, but whatever software is used might have some speed limitations.
If someone put a highway rated for 200 miles per hour between my house and my office, I wouldn't be able to get to work at 200mph. My car has a max speed, my tires have a max speed, and my driving skills have a max speed. I might even run out of gas before I got there. One or all of those would limit the speed. |

Clifton, NJ | Nice analogy but doesn't really apply here
Most devices accessing Netflix can handle much higher than 3Mbps down
Must be Netflix holding back
Dont get started with this Super HD crap |

There are many factors involved. Anybody know if it is in Mpeg4 format versus the standard Mpeg2 that is used by CV for its TV streams? If it is Mpeg4 it would give excellent quality with a much lower bit stream. For anyone who wants a little background info see

I thought I posted this previously -- but - the Netflix charts disclose the average speed of the Netflix stream being delivered -- not the average speed of the ISP itself.
TheWiseGuy  -- I believe Netflix uses fragmented MPEG-4.. Look here: »www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/···409.aspx |

While it not be 4k, I must say that House of Cards looks great in 1080P on my HDTV when I stream it from my Surface Pro. |
