Living in Hartford (home of a distribution center), I find that I am still experiencing some throttling on my unlimited disk plan. I recently went on watching Big Bang Theory and saw a surprising decrease in turn-around-time as I started to return disks at a regular pace again.
I don't know if it is actually due to throttling or not, but Netflix is preceived at least to still be throttling me.

I'm sure there are some algorithms in place to deal with usage spikes. If it helps keep their costs low then I am ok with slight delays.
- mishmash 15y agoSame here. Our turn-around is usually two days. We routinely get the "we've received" emails but our next ones won't ship for 1-3 days after that. It's annoying considering the "unlimited" plan claim.
