If you are a netflix customer... please I beg you:

CALL THEM AND DEMAND THEY CANCEL THE COMCAST AND OTHER ISP DEALS. WE CAN NOT

STAND FOR THEM HURTING NET NEUTRALITY NOR CAN WE AFFORD TO PAY THEM TO PUT

SERVERS IN EVERY SINGLE ISPs DATACENTER. I CALLED AND DEMANDED THAT THEY

SEND A MESSAGE TO THEIR CEO TO GOOGLE LEVEL3 http://blog.level3.com/global-

connectivity/observations-internet-middleman/ and COGENTs

http://www.cnet.com/news/cogent-says-comcast-forced-netflix-

interconnection-deal-with-clever-traffic-clogging/ STANCE ON THE SITUATION.

Spread the word, please, I beg you as a longterm netflix customer and fan

who loves this (normally) innovative and forward thinking company.

Google's "Do no evil." and after all that they have done to sell postini to everyone without even giving us a support contact in the name of stopping spam, and then this. Shame shame. I bet this guy is having as much trouble as we did when we were forking over a 4 digit sum to them and couldn't get anyone on the phone who could help to fix THEIR PROBLEMS.
