Within the last couple of weeks my Netflix has taken a poo poo. I have a 100mbs connection and I decided to do a speedtest while streaming "super hd". I got a 98.9mbs test while Netflix is showing something close to DVD quality, it isn't making a dent in the speed test. Same quality while not running the test. There are just too many variables for me to make any conclusions, but the timing is interesting.

Install Windows posted:What ISP, and what time of day? Comcast's peering with Netflix directly is expected to start phasing in this month for what it's worth. Charter, and prime time, but I always play at prime time and I haven't had any issues for months as Charter upgraded their pipes. For a while I was getting 200mbs when they were stress testing. edit: Steam will currently max my connection. I got ahold of Netflix tech support and the person seemed ill informed and didn't even know what throttling was. If Netflix is claiming that they aren't getting throttling complaints, how can they get them if their support doesn't know about the possibility?

They knew, and were given federal money for massive upgrades. They pocketed it instead. Also discussed earlier there is a possibility of artificially slowing sites down that don't pay for a perceived fast lane even though the pipe can handle it.

I posted the rules on FB from NPR and I was told I place too much faith in bureaucracy. I thought the rules were quite clear.
