But the customer is paying for that to happen. The last mile is payed for by the customer. The deal between Comcast and Netflix is designed to handle the macro level bandwidth, which is only painful when you need to cover distances.
By putting themselves wherever Comcast asks, Netflix removed all but the last mile costs. Those costs are paid for by end users.
