Netflix calculates the ISP Speed Index by dividing the prime time sessions into 0.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) buckets based on the maximum possible bitrate and then calculate the time-weighted bitrate achieved for all sessions in each bucket. After which, the company calculates the global hours distribution of these 0.5 Mbps buckets and normalize every ISP to this same distribution.
