Speaking of Netflix, while the library has expanded since launch to now include more than 13,000 titles, outside of Netflix Originals, there are different TV series and movies that Netflix users in other regions can access that we can’t (and the inverse is true). This is where reliable virtual private network (VPN) software like NordVPN can help out.
- NordVPN notes that the Netflix US library is available in other countries that aren’t listed above, which means you may be able to glean better speeds by connecting to countries closer than America that use the Netflix US library. This technically means that Netflix could ban your account, even if account bans for VPN circumvention have not been widely reported. What is more widely reported is that particular VPNs are either temporarily or permanently blocked, which means you won’t be able to access Netflix libraries in those regions. For NordVPN, search for the country you’re after, like “United States”, then scroll through the list of servers by region and pick a different one.

While Netflix is playable with speeds as low as 0.5Mbps, this stretches to 5Mbps for HD playback. For that 5Mbps HD playback requirement, you should be able to comfortably stream Netflix from around the world with a basic internet offering 25Mbps.
