This is a boon for indie ISPs who are too small to host a cache as the bandwidth is cheap and it makes Super HD streams available. I wouldn't call NetFlix a bad netizen.
- cpwright 13y agoIt isn't even just "indie" ISPs who do it. Cablevision's Optimum Online, which is probably the biggest internet provider on Long Island and Westchester has a peering relationship with Netflix, and lands at #2 on the speed chart, just behind Google Fiber: http://ispspeedindex.netflix.com/usa http://ispspeedindex.netflix.com/usa It is also worth noting, that FIOS was #6. I do wonder if that has really changed or not.
