[Sorta OT...] Ugh, now we just need goad Comcast into improving their peering.
It's pretty sad when the TV viewing experience is better via torrents than Netflix. Comcast is doing some serious throttling.... For me, the Netflix stream is all pixelated, yet we can pull the entire hour-long HD content via torrent in ~5 minutes. Something is amiss.
- MichaelGG 11y agoMaybe it's Netflix that needs better peering? I'm not on Comcast (trying from Central America) and Netflix regularly sucks (but is better than YouTube) whereas torrenting works fine.
- virtuallynathan 11y agoComcast doesn't do any throttling, and have tons of interconnection, including direct connectivity with Netflix. http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-and-netflix http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comc...
