Advice

Netflix requires you to have a minimum internet connection speed of 0.5Mbps to watch videos, but you won’t be able to watch the highest quality video at such low speeds. To watch HD quality videos, Netflix recommends using a network connection with a minimum speed of 5Mbps. See the internet speed test guide to know the speed of your internet connection.
You can throw a Netflix party to enjoy TV shows or movies with friends across the country.
