>Comcast and Verizon were already caught drastically slowing down Netflix and Youtube
Actually no, all three incidents you mentioned (Netflix being slow on Comcast, Netflix being slow on Verizon, Youtube being slow on Comcast) were caused by peering issues. These are not net neutrality issues, contrary to Netflix's massive PR campaign to convince you otherwise.
The actual issue was Netflix opted not to peer with Comcast/Verizon, and instead funneled all their traffic through Cogent and Level 3.
- cwyers 9y agoAnd Netflix refused to do peering the way everyone else has done peering on the Internet because they wanted to pressure ISPs into installing and maintaining OpenConnect boxes on their own dime. Netflix has been an incredibly poor actor in this whole saga.
