You must be preferring L3 to Netflix instead of Cogent and L3's connection to Netflix must suck.

I just brought up a Gig level3 connection and now fast.com shows speed tests in the ~5m range while speedtest.net shows correct speeds, i.e 200m on a 200m plan. If I drop BGP to Level3, fast.com speeds increase to 100m+ Two feeds in the same data center. Each connected to a juniper MX5 with fiber between the MX5s. If I drop BGP on the cogent feed, fast.com tests are still around 5m with good speeds to everything else. What seems to be nuts abut this is that Level3 appears to be hosting or directly connected to the netflix content servers that feed data for fast.com as far as I can tell. The spike in netflix traffic coming in over the cogent feed is when I dropped bgp on the lvl3 feed to run fast.com speed tests. Has anyone else seen this with level3? Could someone else with a level 3 connection test to fast.com and let me know what it looks like?
