The facts that backup Comcast's claims are that Netflix sent its traffic to Cogent. Cogent is a broadband provider that plays middle man. In this case they are between Comcast and Netflix. The problem is that Cogent didn't have the capacity to handle all that Netflix traffic. If this is true than that means Comcast and possibly other ISPs have nothing to do with the Netflix speed slowdowns. That would also make the deal that Netflix signed with Comcast make perfect sense.
