Peering Wars: Netflix users suffer under Verizon
http://j.mp/11J6xwi (Gigaom)
"If you are trying to get Netflix and use Verizon's broadband, then
there is a good chance that your video performance is less than
optimal. Some Verizon customers might even go as far as calling it a
crappy Netflix experience. The reason: a behind-the-scenes power play
between Verizon and Cogent Communications , one of the largest
bandwidth providers. The head-butting between these two companies is
over an arcane concept known as peering."
