I would love to see the Verizon blog response on that... <best Verizon voice> There appears to be no congestion within the Verizon network, but there is congestion in this little red area where the Verizon user connects to the Verizon network. The Verizon customer has failed to negotiate reasonable commercial terms that allow him or her to send traffic to Netflix at the requested rate. The customer is dropping packets... not us.</end Verizon voice>
