Netflix ISP Speed Rankings Show Little U.S. Shakeup in May

April’s five fastest U.S. ISPs for Netflix streaming speeds remained atop the list in May, the company said in a blog post Monday. Verizon FiOS held the top spot among major ISPs at 3.56 Mbps, followed by Cox, Cablevision Optimum, Bright House and Comcast. CenturyLink, Frontier, Windstream, Verizon DSL and Clearwire rounded out the bottom half of the list of major providers. A one-position swap between Suddenlink, now at the eight spot, and Mediacom, now at the nine spot, was the only change to the list in May. Abroad, New Zealand’s Bigpipe fell three spots in the country’s Netflix speed index, down .34 Mbps from the previous month to 3.11 Mbps. Kabel Deutschland found its way back into second place on the list in Germany, clocking in at 4.0 Mbps -- up from 3.81 Mbps in April.
