A comment on Netflix Performance on Top ISP Networks.

My ISP says I get 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload, and speed tests confirm I do. For sustained flows, I get a solid 15 Mbps when downloading software from Microsoft.

So the 15 Mbps is way above anything in the Netflix graph.

So, the ISP can't always be the bottleneck keeping data rates below 3 Mbps.

Netflix (apparently) can't measure anything above 4.8 Mbps, so 15 counts as 4.8 and the average is brought down by people who are on the el cheapo 1.5 Mbps plan.
