By Alina Selyukh and Marina Lopes WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. regulators will review agreements between Netflix, Verizon, Comcast and other content and Internet providers to figure out whether they are causing slow web download speeds for some consumers, especially for streaming video content. Consumers have complained to the Federal Communications Commission about the ongoing spat between Netflix and Internet service providers (ISPs). At the heart of this is whether ISPs that provide connectivity in the final mile to the home can advantage or disadvantage content providers, and therefore advantage or disadvantage consumers, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said on Friday. Large content providers such as Netflix Inc have historically paid middlemen or ISPs to deliver their content to consumers.
