> as soon as Comcast makes its own netflix-like service, you can forget getting netflix to stream smoothly.

Comcast owns NBCUniversal and a 1/3 share of hulu as well as an "ondemand" service through the comcast cablebox and the internet, "soon" happened already. And in many places netflix on comcast already does not stream smoothly (almost unquestionably due to throttling of netflix traffic).

Comcast agreed to not throttle competing video services, at least until 2018, back when it acquired NBC (and so part of Hulu, which it had to step back from management from) a couple of years back.

So if you can make a case that they're "almost unquestionably" throttling Netflix, you could probably find some people very interested in that... but it sounds more like they were just saturated and are now taking steps to alleviate it.
