said by Smallfry7:I am only being throttled to specific destinations on the internet. How is that possible? It seems that they have limited bandwidth for certain backbone peers. Could this be it?
That's definitely a possibility. I have no idea what their bandwidth is like (probably huge), but if they only have let's say 100mbps to Level3 in your area and 10gbps to Level3 to Palo Alto, then yes your connection would appear to be throttled to anything going over Level3 in your area (i.e, Netflix streaming). Level3 is a backbone BTW
Can you do a traceroute to Netflix, and then a second traceroute to Google just so I can see if they differ at all?
