Netflix Compares ISP Streaming Performance

Posted by timothy on from the real-streaming-match dept.

boustrophedon writes "The Netflix blog compared streaming performance among 20 top ISPs for the past three months. A Netflix HD stream can provide up to 4800 kbps, but the fastest American ISP, Charter, could sustain only 2667 kbps on average. Most Canadian ISPs beat that, with champ Rogers providing an average of 3020 kbps. Clearwire, Frontier, and CenturyTel were in the doghouse with under 1600 kbps."

    ...but how in the hell is anyone supposed to pick the colors out of those graphs, at least three of them are the same shade of sky blue.

    I'd like to see this redone as the graph is certainly compelling, just a little bit more readable.
