Just curious - Why do you assume that's due to congestion and not to the same type of intentional throttling being discussed here?


The speed will decrease during periods you'd think there would be heavy usage (mid morning/late afternoon, even slower in early evening). Then speed up dramatically in the late evening when most have gone to bed.


fwiw I see the same congestion-related throughput pattern on my copper cableco connection (fast.com reports much lower numbers in the evening and on the weekend vs early in the morning on a weekday). Typically I can still get full speed from my own servers though, implying the congestion is specific to the peering between my ISP and Netflix CDN nodes.
