As a customer I can't really say that I can tell any difference between all the streaming services, so presumably this type of optimization helps Netflix's bottom line somehow?
- flagged24 3y agoNetflix beats others when it comes to low bitrate high quality streams. At some remote areas with poor cellular coverage, Netflix is the only service that provides a working video stream.
- teacpde 3y agoSo it only solves a tail problem. I would assume the percentage of subscribers with poor internet is low.
- frenchman99 3y agoWhy would you assume that?
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agoIt also helps Netflix. Lower bitrate means less server load and lower internet bills.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoThat interesting. I've noticed that Amazon always takes longer to load and spend more time at a poor bitrate, while Netflix just works.
