Comcast wasn't blocking or rate limiting Netflix (in this scenario) - they had over utilized circuits with Cogent, who is a transit-provider that sells cut-rate transit of lower quality (and much lower cost) than other transit providers.
- nknighthb 13y agoI got better and more reliable service from Cogent than I ever got from the likes of Level3, and having both been a Comcast customer AND seen the inside of Comcast, I don't know in what universe it could be called "quality".
