Team 8. Companies like Netflix, which is the largest user of bandwidth in the U.S., may pay more to ISPs to make sure their content is accessible to customers. What will this mean to its users?

Solution

Netflix is one of the most popular online streaming sites on the Internet.

For Internet Providers,there is a cost for providing the service. For broadband connections such as cable bandwidth is shared between users.Netflix provides streaming videos for a monthly free.The videos are streamed over third-party Internet Providers.

So if too many users use the service like media streaming,torrents etc.., it obviously slows down the speed

Netflix gets profits by usingProviders bandwidth.Since good traffic is at the heart of its businessmodel,Netflix carefully monitors it\'s performance.After some digging it\'s administrators determined that companies such as Comcast were purposely throttling users bandwidth

So it agreed to pay the ISP interconnection fee if sufficient capacity is made available and high quality service for the customers is restored

They has given monetary offers to ISPs to stop throttling it\'s service so that the users get the best streaming speeds.Only Comcast has accepted the Netflix offer.

Netflix announced that they pay toll to the powerful ISPs to protect their consumer experience such that the users get the best streaming speeds
