I wasn't aware of that, but I think that's perfect! And completely reasonable on Netflix (or any content provider's part).
I'm sure Verizon's wordsmiths would argue that the "crowding" happened upstream of the Verizon network, but if stated another way (like "the paths into Verizon's network are full") anyone can see that this is an issue that Verizon made and only Verizon could solve. Netflix isn't, and shouldn't be, responsible for runing Verizon's network. Only Verizon runs the Verizon network, and it's up to Verizon to deliver the service they advertise and sell to consumers: "America's most reliable network" (TM).

For a better Netflix experience, consider exploring one of these other nearby internet providers: x, y, z.Netflix actually did pretty much exactly that with Verizon back in 2014, displaying a message that read "The Verizon network is crowded right now."https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/05/netflix-error-blames-verizon-for-playback-issues-verizon-responds-with-legal-threats/
