Netflix to reduce its bit rate in Israel amid surge in traffic
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetflix will lower the quality of its streams in Israel amid a rise of up to 30% in viewer traffic, to ensure its services continue to run smoothly, the Communications Ministry says.
The ministry says the decision to reduce the bit rate comes at the government’s request, and that Netflix has announced similar moves in many EU countries.
The adjustment is to be implemented gradually over the next week.
