There's some interesting tech behind this. This test was done from my computer at our offices, where we have a 40Mb layer 2 to Teraco.
I can't achieve nearly this speed testing from a VM in Teraco, where we have a 10Gb interconnect to NAP and then to Netflix.
/books Teraco visit to test
It would be nice if you could select how many streams you want and at what quality, e.g 2x 4k and 3 x 1080p.


Did not want to start a new thread just, but maybe add to the this thread for alternative to new test by Netflix. There is a nice speedtest on the Sourceforge website, which includes test for latency and packet loss.
