The reality is that major ISPs like Verizon and Comcast want Netflix to DIE because it is a major competitor of theirs. How many people have cut their cable TV service because Netflix is "good enough?" So Verizon and Comcast can compete with Netflix, or they can attempt to cut off their knees. "Nice streaming service you got there. Be a shame if it was so slow your users got frustrated and cancelled their service." This is why Verizon and Comcast don't take Netflix up on their offer to provide caching servers, create peering agreements and take other actions that actually decrease the ISP's cost. Because Verizon and Comcast want Netflix DEAD.
