Verizon and Netflix are in that tough part of a rom-com where the couple is totes not speaking anymore, ever. Netflix blames Verizon, Verizon blames Netflix, and customers blame everyone because they just want to watch Gilmore Girls. Netflix said it was testing ways to let consumers know how their Netflix experience is being affected by congestion on their broadband providers network. Thats a plausible argument, especially considering how difficult and convoluted the fight over paid prioritization within net neutrality has been. Verizon is not amused by Netflixs testing. A Verizon spokesperson has said Netflix was just pulling a PR stunt. From there, things got worse: Verizon is now threatening legal action over the message.
