Netflix Slowdown

I'm having problems with Netflix slowdowns also. At first I thought that I needed to reboot my equipment to fix the problems. Then I though that it was a slowdown from my internet service provider. So, I started to monitor my internet speeds as I watched netflix.
Here is what I got. I have Charter at 30mbps download and 4mbps up. My speeds are almost always consistent, once in awhile it may drop all the way down to 20mbps as I have monitored it. That's as slow as I have rated it. However, Netflix is is always slowing down to as low as 240SD and 288SD, about 40% of the times, then up to 480p for awhile and 720 very shortly and 1080p for and instant and dropping back to 480p or 288SD, or in that range. Since Netflix let Amazon stream some of it's content for it, could that be a problem or conflict of interest?
