Though Indian ISPs have been performing well on the global speed index of Netflix with some constantly touching the 3.6 Mbps mark, latest data from the streamer shows that in some other markets, ISPs have touched 3.8 Mbps speed.
Those Indian ISPs who have been delivering 3.6 Mbps speed, as per data released in June 2022, include 7 Star Digital, Airtel, Alliance Broadband, Atria Convergence Technologies, Excitel Broadband, Jio Giga Fiber, SPECTRA and Tata Play Fiber.
The ISPs delivering 3.4 Mbps in India include D-VoiS, GTPL, Hathway, One Broadband, Syscon Infoway and YOU Broadband.
Both BSNL and Tikona continue to languish at the bottom with 3.2 Mbps speed. State-owned MTNL registered sub 3 Mbps speed.
The Netflix ISP Speed Index is a measure of prime time Netflix performance on a particular ISP and not a measure of overall performance for other services or data that may travel across the specific ISP network. Faster Netflix performance generally means better picture quality, quicker start times and fewer interruptions.
Meanwhile, according to a statement put out by Netflix, nearly 10 ISPs across North America, Europe and Asia performed at 3.8 Mbps for the month of June on the Netflix ISP Speed Index, a monthly update on which ISPs provide the best primetime Netflix streaming experience.
In North America, Telus-Fiber Optic in Canada and Optimum Fiber in the United States jumped by 0.2 Mbps (megabits per second) to 3.8 Mbps.
Three ISPs in Europe followed a similar trend, with Orange Poland, United Kingdom’s Virgin Media, and Italy’s Sky Wifi all seeing increases of 0.2 Mbps to 3.8 Mbps.
Across Asia, AIS Fibre in Thailand, Time in Malaysia and LG U+ in South Korea also joined the 3.8 Mbps club. The averages for eight of the nine countries also saw a boost of 0.2 Mbps to 3.8 Mbps, with Poland increasing to 3.4 Mbps from 3.2.
Three ISPs saw drops of 0.2 Mbps. Japan’s Softbank-DSL decreased from 3.2 to 3 Mbps. Pakistan’s Jazz and Trinidad and Tobago’s Blink dropped from 2.2 to 2 Mbps.
