I will admit that I am probably making a pretty sweeping assumption here... but I'm assuming Netflix previously had the same access as everyone else on the Internet, from Comcast - and now, they do not. They have BETTER access.

To me, this is disturbing. Surely there is some financial incentive for Comcast to do this.

It seems to me that this is exactly the kind of thing that the whole "net neutrality" issue is trying to prevent (i.e. back office deals that give one content provider better access over others)

Or... am I just missing lots of things? (wouldn't be the first time!) :)
