Netflix reveals the best broadband provider for watching your favourite shows without buffering

VIRGIN Media has been revealed as the best internet provider to watch Netflix on.

The company is the most reliable for watching your favourite shows without any annoying buffering interruptions, according to the Netflix ISP Speed Index.

Based on February’s data, Virgin Media scored a speed of 3.8Mbps.

That’s only marginally higher than BT, EE, Plusnet, Sky, TalkTalk and Vodafone which comes in with 3.6Mbps.

Netflix has a rather complicated formula to score speeds, factoring in things like usage for three hours at what it considers prime time.

The firm’s tests only cover when people access Netflix, not other sites.

And it doesn’t include traffic from your mobile network either.

But it is a good indicator of how broadband providers are delivering.

Globally, the UK appears to be in pretty good shape.

Blighty ranks second along with a load of other countries such as the US.

First place goes to just five countries.

They are Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Spain, Singapore and Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Venezuela takes the bottom spot.

Netflix updates the data every month.
