Well maybe Netflix wouldn't have to go this route if ISP didn't have caps. Only 2 hours and 45 minutes of SuperHD streaming per day would put one over a 250 GB cap.

Also Netflix already pays for it's bandwidth.

And Netflix is getting the bandwidth it paid for.

But if they want to see their customers happy with "Super" HD, they're going to have to buy some more bandwidth. Evidently, they figured out that last-mile caching is the optimum way to go given the effects of Network Neutrality.

Time Warner is probably willing to go along and allow Netflix to pay to place their caches, but I don't think they're appreciative of Netflix' publicity stunts.

Apparently you don't quite realize how bandwidth works for non-residential customers.

Companies pay X amount for X amount of speed, with a guaranteed 99.999% uptime regardless of the bandwidth used (1MB or 1TB a month). Netflix has the bandwidth capacity to run it via traditional streams, but then there is issue with latency and QoS. Putting it in the middle of the network eliminates outside congestion sources, and reduces the strain on the ISP and CDN networks.

Re: oh the irony

The content owners don't like the idea. The providers do not really have much of a say.

Re: Netflix Thug like Behavior.

I believe you would be understanding wrong.

Unless Netflix has every major ISP running lines to the main server(s) that deliver the content to consumers and the caching servers they have to be running over whomever they have as an ISP (level 3) to reach those networks.

Cablecard. I'm building a DVR for use on Comcast, and it's going to be WAY better than their POS.

Please reread my comment. I stated that it was my impression that Netflix is placing their caching servers on the ISP's network so Level 3 is not involved in serving the content to the user since it is coming from a server that is already on the user's ISP network. The only involvement of Level 3 is when Netflix wants to connect to the ISP Hosted Server to add new content.

Be careful what you wish for.

All the other cable companies are worse.

The problem is Netflix want to jam more bandwidth, compete with cable companies and expect the cable companies to give them room and pay for and upgrades to the network; all so can Netflix can make money off a minority of ISP's customers.
To Netflix is a case of companies behaving badly.

Is this the kind of putrid filth you say after you are done bending over for the ISPs? The kinds who are looking for corporate handouts, since we pay for them to upgrade their infrastructure, and the content companies we pay for them to upgrade their data servers?

You would be better off leaving your mouth to the ISPs and not giving us your opinions.
