With that connection up, filter Netflix's AS from your Level 3 feed and see if 
it still works properly with both connections up, but Netflix only available 
over Cogent?

L3 is hosting most of the Netflix content. They prefer to send it to me over 
the L3 connection. Someone with a VM connected to L3 in another DC in Baltimore 
just reached out to me and they are not seeing the same issue so it might be 
connection specific.

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?
