I was surprised to see I got 89mbps. My Comcast plan is 75mbps. Thanks Obama!

  It makes sense. Comcast is directly paid off (I mean peered) with Netflix, and they overprovision intentionally. See https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643 https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643 if you are curious.

    That link (https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643 https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643) seems to be a list of Comcast's available bandwidth speeds, and doesn't mention Netflix or peering. Did you intend to post something that describes the interconnect agreement between the two companies?

      No, that's about the overprovisioning. But here's something about the peering: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/after-netflix-pays-comcast-speeds-improve-65/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/after-...
