The website, ISPSpeedIndex.Netflix.com, currently provides data for the US, Mexico, Ireland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

Netflix said that Google Fiber in Kansas City in the US currently offers the highest average Netflix streaming bit-rate of 3.35Mbps, followed by Sweden’s Ownit with an average 2.99Mbps. Netflix members in Finland receive, on average, the highest bitrates, while members in Mexico have the slowest connections, on average. All ISPs in Denmark, Sweden and Finland averaged above 2Mbps.
