Netflix wants you to know whose fault it is that your movie isnt loading — and, big surprise, its pinning the issue on internet service providers.

As Recode points out, Netflixs communication chief, Jonathan Friedland, replied on Twitter to say that it was testing the message as a way to keep members informed.
