Netflix lowers the quality by order of the European Union
Today we are talking about news that is worth highlighting. And it is that Netflix has decided to lower the quality of its videos in this quarantine due to the Coronavirus.
If you are subscribed to this leading audiovisual content platform on the web, you will know that it has really good playback quality. All this, obviously, if we have an optimal internet speed for it. But generally, the content it offers is 4K.
But in these days and the rest, that we have been in quarantine, if you have not noticed it, you will notice it, the quality of the video has been diminished. We explain the reason.
Netflix lowers the quality of its videos
As you know, we are in quarantine and this means that everyone is at home connected to the network. A priori this shouldn't be a problem, but it is.
We say that is a problem, because since we are all connected in our homes, the networks are more saturated than normal. Being so saturated, we find that the speed drops and everything slows down, so don't worry, because it's not your connection, it's the world in general.
Due to this network saturation, the European Union has decided that platforms like Netflix and even YouTube in the next few days, lower the quality of your videos, so that they don't need so many resources. This is done, because there are priorities, such as Hospitals, in which it is necessary for the network to work like a charm and not be saturated.
Therefore, in the next few days we will see a drop in quality in all series and movies. For the moment, Netflix has announced that it will go by areas, that is, those in which the connections are more saturated, will be the first victims of this drop in quality.
So don't be scared if you start to see your content with less quality, nor let's be angry because Netflix continues to charge the same even lowering the quality. These days, we all have to do our part and this measure can mean a break for all those connections in he alth centers, hospitals where it is much more important.
