Netflix has updated its ISP Speed Index for the month of July. Isn't that Verizon, the company Netflix paid off, at the bottom of the list? That was money well spent.

No issues here with suddenlink, but I noticed they were near the top. Going to be moving end of this month and will have time warner cable. Good to see they are at least decent speed. My house hold is heavy on netflix usage. I have amazon prime as well, but since it's not on the apple tv, we don't use it much.
I had to cancel Netflix because it's so bad on my Fios. I'd cancel Fios because I know it's their fault but Comcast is my only other option and I hate them even more. Amazon Prime has much better quality.

What is up with the highest average bring 3.10Mbps? I would think that it would be MBps. I don't think Charter even offers 3 Mbps?

I'm on fios its much better now, like at the very beginning of this month the route changed for me, but before that omg buffer galore. For those that are interested:

Good on netflix for not bumping Verizon up to the top just because they were paid off.
Comcast is the devil, that's a fact. But other than their horrid pricing and retention antics in my neighborhood they provide a solid 105/25 that never wavers. I have to give them a tip of the hat for giving me a quality connection.
Unfortunately in this day and age competition does not equal better and or cheap services for the paying customer. Until FCC and State PUCs actually start doing their jobs /what they are suppose to do + get out of the pockets of big Business and actually come out with sensible fair rules and regulations regarding who is regulated what is regulated , along with implementing and enforcing real Net neutrality these issues will only get worse.Wut? Netflix doesn't choose where to place ISPs on the list. They check on the client side the speed that of the stream they are receiving, along with the clients ISP. Then put the average speed per ISP on the list. And even though they paid Verizon money to 'fix' the (artificial) bandwidth issues on their network, Verizon still continues to provide shit service and asks for more money.
It's a big scam, and what happens when there is no competition in the market. Look at what's happening in the cities with google fiber. The other big companies are suddenly scrambling to provide similar service because they are losing customers (and for good reason...). Once we get that kind of competition in all markets, these problems will go away by themselves.
Netflix on FIOS is pretty bad...Mine has been that way for the last year or so, seems to have gotten a little worse or better depending on which hours we're watching. Netflix is no help and FIOS is no help because speedtest are reporting close to 50Mbps download and 20Mbps upload
How is it that those DSL companies had faster speeds than fiber optic services from AT&T and VZ?
Too bad Google Fiber wasn't listed, otherwise they would've blown that list to shreds.
I feel like this is the obvious answer but I haven't heard this before: why doesn't everyone just use a VPN?
I do find it pretty pitiful that the US has such slower speeds than Canada. Canada is more spread out in general, so it should mean that it would cost more to maintain faster speed equipment and cabling. Yet, despite the higher cost, our ISPs aren't keeping up.
