What I'm wonder is if Netflix has explored entering the ISP game. Google experimented with this a bit but has apparently bowed out, but I could see it maybe being a valid direction for someone like Netflix. ISPs are going to keep squeezing customers, and companies alike until something gives, because it's their one leverage point. They've all but lost the battle on cable television, especially as all the major sports leagues have begun their own streaming services. Netflix probably has the market cap to afford the upfront costs of rolling their own fiber, and I'd imagine they'd save millions just from not having to pay the cable companies fees for Fast Lanes.
