Netflix ISP Speed Index for May
We just added May data to the “Netflix ISP Speed Index,” providing an updated look at which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide the best Netflix streaming experience.A few data points from the new Netflix ISP Speed Index, reflecting data for May:
- U.S.: The top rankings remain unchanged, but the top five ISPs all delivered slightly faster averages. Optimum continues to provide the best Netflix experience of any large ISP, followed by COX.
- U.K: No change in rankings with Virgin holding on to its top position. All ISPs in the UK delivered improvements in speed in May compared to April.
- Ireland: UPC dropped three spots to No. 4 while Magnet maintains its No. 1 slot and continues to be the ISP with the best Netflix performance. Runner Digiweb, Eircom and Vodafone showed slight speed increases.
- Nordics: Average speeds went up for each country. The Nordics continue to have the fastest ISPs, led by Ownit in Sweden. In Norway Altibox jumped back to the No. 1 slot
- Mexico: Speeds increased for the top three providers, giving Netflix members who use those ISPs a better experience.
Located at http://ISPSpeedIndex.Netflix.com/ the Netflix ISP Speed Index provides an easy overview of the performance of ISPs in several of the countries Netflix is available in. Updated on a monthly basis, the site allows for easy comparison of ISPs in a country as well as international comparisons.
The Netflix ISP Speed Index is based on data from the more than 36 million Netflix members who view over 1 billion hours of TV shows and movies streaming from Netflix per month. The listed speeds reflect the average performance of all Netflix streams on each ISP's network and are an indicator of the performance typically experienced across all users on an ISP network.
Note: the average performance is below the peak performance due to many factors including the variety of encodes Netflix uses to deliver the TV shows and movies as well as the variety of devices members use and home network conditions. These factors cancel out when comparing across ISPs.

Updated Netflix Player on PlayStation 3
PlayStation 3 is one of the most popular ways to enjoy TV shows and movies from Netflix. Today we released an updated version of the Netflix player on PS3.The first thing you will notice an updated design that is more consistent with the Netflix player on the Web as well as our mobile and tablet applications.
Here’s how it works: Select “Audio & Subtitles” and all options for that title are presented. Members who use the accessory Sony PS3 Blu-ray remote control can access “Audio & Subtitles” directly from the remote control by pressing “Subtitles.”
For users of our social features, the ability to not share the current title is also easily available in the player.
Lastly, we have improved the design and performance of our “trickplay” mode when scanning forward or reverse in play mode. The images load much faster, allowing you to quickly find what you are looking for. Also, you can easily go back 10 seconds in the title anytime by simply pressing the left arrow button once on your controller or remote control.
The updated Netflix player experience is available now on PS3 and will be coming soon to select Smart TVs and Blu-ray players.
And for more information about how to use the PS3 to stream Netflix...
Enjoy!
