Netflix was among several online video providers that implemented measures back in March to reduce Internet traffic as shelter-in-place orders ramped up around the globe. Now that things have settled down a bit, we're starting to see bitrates revert back to normal. In a statement issued to
FlatpanelsHD, Netflix said it is working with ISPs to help increase capacity. "In the last month alone we have added four times the normal capacity," a spokesperson said. And as conditions continue to improve, Netflix will further lift limitations. Per the publication, users in Norway, Denmark, Germany and other European countries have reported improved streaming quality (4K HDR up to 15 Mb/s bitrate). In the site's own testing, however, it said streaming is still capped at 7.62 Mb/s.
