PROVO, Utah – Sept. 13 – FirstDigital, a leading Utah telecommunications provider for both residential and business customers, announced today that they are one of a handful of companies nationwide to team up with Netflix to provide true “Instant Play” content.
About 30% of bandwidth used across America can be attributed to Netflix or some other type of streaming entertainment content. FirstDigital has found a way to eliminate the congestion and their customers love it. Netflix has never been faster!
FirstDigital achieved lightning-fast streaming speeds by storing 80% of Netflix’s highest demand content on FirstDigital’s own servers. This change results in no buffering time, even on high definition video. It also allows FirstDigital customers to rewind or fast forward content in increments as small as one second instead of by-the-minute like most Netflix customers; truly making “Instant Play” instant.
“We presented this idea to Netflix because we understand how important speed and quality are while watching your favorite shows,” said Chris Modesitt, FirstDigital’s Chief Information Officer. “Here’s one more way we can provide personalized service to our loyal customers.”
