Switzerland is a country of streamers, and they like to feed on the Witch. This is shown in a survey conducted by the online comparison service moneyland.ch. 85 percent of Switzerland uses a streaming service to watch videos or listen to music. And foreign suppliers stand out at the top. The Swiss prefer to be sprayed by Netflix, YouTube, Spotify and Co., Swiss providers have no chance.
Even if the study reflects pre-crisis usage behavior in Corona, it is clear that blocking and home office have further strengthened the transmission trend: “Most internet data traffic is caused by transmission video, “says Ralf Beyeler (41), telecom expert at moneyland.ch convinced.
The network is widely used
However, it cannot be distinguished whether the data traffic is video conferencing or movies and series. But one thing is clear for Beyeler: “The network load is high right now. This makes many people buy new Internet subscriptions at a faster rate. ”
Internet providers like Swisscom, UPC and Co. are delighted, however, when it comes to streaming, Swiss providers are at best in the middle of the field.
The clear favorite of the Swiss streaming nation is YouTube. Almost two thirds of the population use the video channel, the majority in the free version. Children between the ages of 19 and 25 in particular are often on YouTube, but half of those over 50 also use the channel regularly.
Netflix can also be used for free
Netflix is ahead of the game when it comes to paid video services: 45 percent of all respondents use Netflix, 30 percent also pay a monthly subscription fee. 15 percent use Netflix for free, either through a friend’s or acquaintance’s account, or just using the free offers.
The Swiss also have a clear favorite when it comes to music services: Spotify is by far the most popular music provider in Switzerland. More than a third of the respondents have Spotify in their ears, almost half cost something.
Interesting: Services like Skysports or Dazn bring first-class sporting events in Swiss lounges for a fee, but they are only rarely used. This is unlikely to change during the Corona crisis, because providers simply lack content.
