Netflix released their traffic data for 2013, which showed the nosedive at both Verizon and Comcast, yet this dude you replied to claims this was Cogent’s fault. No, not unless Netflix just started peering through Cogent for only those two ISPs in November and stopped in February. I’m a crapcast customer who witnessed the drop in Netflix streaming quality first hand. It was occassionally spotty in November and December, but less than a week after the courts struck down the FCC’s net neutrality rule, Netflix became unwatchable. Nothing would stream higher than standard definition, whereas the week prior, damned near everything was streaming at 1080 or better.
