Unless said tf2 server happens to be hosted within UU's own network, I'd imagine the blame would go to whichever party in the transit path refused to upgrade their commitments.

they do.  netflix rolls their own cache servers, installable in any

At the ISPs expense, including connectivity to a peering point. Most content
providers pay Akamai, Netflix wants ISPs to pay them. Hmmm....

Now I write a check every month to both Verizon and Netflix - and clearly it
would be nice if some of that went to provisioning better service between
the two.  But I can as easily point to Netflix, as to Verizon, when it comes
to which dollar stream should be going to bigger (or more efficient) pipes.
I was going to sit on the sidelines.... but...

Take Netflix out of the equation and google things like "tf2 verizon
fios" or any other game.  Who do you point the finger at then?
