Netflix Reveals Fastest - And Slowest - Video Streaming ISPs


Topping the list in the US is Cox Communications, with an average speed of 3.62Mbps, closely followed by the Cablevision – Optimum platform at 3.59Mbps, and Verizon FiOS (fiber) at 3.54Mbps. This top three remains unchanged from Netflix’s previous published results, [...] Propping the US speed league table up are Clearwire, the Verizon DSL system, and CenturyLink. The gulf between the best and worst US performers is strikingly extreme, with Clearwire achieving just 1.19Mbps (though to be fair this is the only wireless platform on the US list) and Verizon DSL hitting just 1.9Mbps. Differences of this magnitude really will have a considerable impact on the quality of picture and sound you get when you’re watching Netflix. - John Archer, Forbes [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
