Taiwan saw two major increases in April on the Netflix ISP Speed Index, our monthly update on which ISPs provide the best prime time Netflix streaming experience.

Taiwan's TFN leapt 0.8 Megabits per second (Mbps), and KBro jumped 0.6 Mbps. Both landed at 3.4 Mbps, which placed them in Taiwan's first performance bucket - an impressive improvement from January, when both were in Taiwan's last bucket.

Honduras' Metronet increased 0.4 Mbps to 2.2 Mbps.

Honduras was one of 11 countries and regions whose average grew by 0.2 Mbps. The others were Belgium, Brazil, Guatemala, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland.

Several other Latin American services experienced decreases. Ecuador's CNT Fibra, Uruguay's Antel, Bolivia's AXS and Colombia's DIRECTV all fell 0.2 Mbps, to 3.2 Mbps, 3 Mbps, 2.8 Mbps and 1.8 Mbps, respectively.

Spain's Telecable and Canada's Xplornet both dipped 0.2 Mbps to 3.2 Mbps and 1.8 Mbps, respectively.

Three countries were in the top performance-tier in the month of April. Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland all registered an average speed of 3.6 Megabits per second (Mbps) - an increase from a high of 3.4 Mbps in March.

The Netflix ISP Speed Index is a measure of primetime Netflix performance on a particular ISP and not a measure of overall performance for other services/data that may travel across the specific ISP network. Faster Netflix performance generally means better picture quality, quicker start times and fewer interruptions.
