Most Netflix content is delivered through local Netflix Open Connect box through their ISP, not through the internet as a whole. I am not sure how they measure this bandwidth. Peering cost is too high for someone sitting in Asia to enjoy quality streaming from Netflix from NA datacenters. Youtube does the same thing, only they are many many times bigger (in terms of GGC penetration all over the world). This is why most people rarely get buffered youtube even at 4k, unless your ISP is shitty. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/
