Norwegian Altibox is ready for Netflix in 4K

[MariusJS]

As the first ISP in Norway to get the Netflix Caching servers, and be able to give their customers Netflix in "Super HD" (1080P instead of 720P), Altibox is also the first Norwegian ISP to state that they are ready for 4K Netflix, and that they are also ready to increase their customers bandwith without increasing the price!

 

And for those thinking this is a small, local ISP, it is not!

Just to bad that people up here ain´t the most techy people in the world Which means that not that many got 4K displays

 

Anyway for those whom got a 4K monitor and Netflix this is great

Yeah, but we are too rich, so I think that actually a large amount of people are going to buy a 4K TV when they come in at around: 10 -15 000NOK

True, but shit is also a looot more expensive here But if a 30 inch Pc monitor comes in at around 10000 NOK I guess we will see some people buying them

I know I would

But I was thinking more about 50-60" TV's which in the US has started coming in around that price

Isn't this the exact same thing that many American companies are refusing to do? (Caching servers)

 

Anyway, brilliant!

[Trommenissen]

Well i guess its time for me to get Netflix

Yes it is, but on that side, Get and Telenor is refusing aswell, and therefor, Altibox has earned quite a lot of customers, they have about 20-40 000 migrating a year, and that number is growing each year!

Which is about 1% of the population each year!

Only problem is that i doubt it works with things like MediaHint, which gives you US Netflix in Norway

Damn D: well it's still better than tvnorge and tv3  

[MariusJS]

Yeah

I can do some testing with MediaHint and post the results

[Trommenissen]

Yeah

Thanks that would be very helpful

Ok, I've been very busy, but I am now 100% sure that when I use US Netflix it does not go to the streamservers , but MediaHint is really easy to use, so what is on the Norwegian Netflix is faster streamed/buffered, and the traceroute is less than half, and ends with Lyse (Altibox)
