Yep, and it’s probably not a different steak, but the same steak with several delivery attempts from the kitchen to your table.
The difference between 30-40 Mbps from the CDN and 20 Mbps delivered to the customer is probably a lot of TCP retransmissions. It’s not like UDP where if the ISP drops the packets, they’re gone forever. The CDN would probably argue that if you had delivered it the first time, they wouldn’t have to resend it.

Ken, I think your restaurant analogy is off. It is like the restaurant only charging you for what they delivered to your table. IMHO that it the fair way to do it. They only ordered one steak Not their fault the restaurant or its suppliers dropped the other one in the bin before it got to them.

Can't bill for what you didn't deliver.
