I see the same thing. The most likely cause is the inbound peering saturation Verizon seems to be experiencing right now. Packet paths are often asymmetrical, so if Netflix et. al. are saturating peering points for data inbound to Verizon customers, it doesn't mean the peering points for traffic outbound from Verizon customers to other networks are also saturated.
Be thankful you can pull 55 Mbit/s inboundhere in Pittsburgh, I have 50/50 service, and the congestion is so bad, I can't even pull 20 Mbit/s from most sites right now. I can still hit 65 Mbit/s outbound, thougheven though I only have 50/50 service!
