It seems that if you have streamed a film or two on Netflix, you are also most likely a Virgin Media user, as recent stats revealed that almost a third of all traffic to the video streaming website came from the provider's customers.

Following in Virgin Media's footsteps was BT with a substantial 21 per cent traffic rate as well as Sky with 19 per cent.

As a quick reminder, Netflix launched in the UK only a week ago and it has been keeping both the industry and consumers talking about its services as these are free to try for a month and there is no binding contract either.

Subscription fees start at only £5.99 per month which gives customers access to unlimited movie, TV show and programme streaming on internet-enabled devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets, among others.

According to the reports, TalkTalk users tuned into Netflix scoring it 13 per cent traffic, with O2 customers also trying out the service providing the website with 6 per cent.

SimplifyDigital has gathered that the service doesn't have content which would make it stand out drastically, giving consumers access to some oldies but goodies rather than mould breaking exclusives.

It's only fair to remember that Netflix is still a newbie to the UK market but the industry seems to have its eyes on the service.
