Let's not forget that those providers that Netflix chooses to use are global edge service providers for high bandwidth streaming content services. Cogent, Level 3, Limelight, etc... Their whole business is providing high capacity back-end network transit which they do well, otherwise they wouldn't be in business for very long. High-five Level 3 for calling B.S. on this!

Funny you'd mention Cogent and L3 together, seeing as L3 has done worse to Cogent (depeering) for the exact same reason Verizon is using (unbalanced traffic).

  Oh I didn't say they weren't bastards. That's a whole other discussion.
