Verizons average Netflix speeds have dropped considerably in recent months, adding to concerns that the FiOS provider may intentionally be slowing connections to the streaming video service. In its monthly grading of ISPs, Netflix says that Verizon fell to an average of 1.82Mbps in January. Thats down from 2.2Mbps in October, and has resulted in Verizon dropping from sixth to seventh place in Netflixs overall ISP ranking. Internet providers like Verizon are under close scrutiny after the FCCs net neutrality rules were largely tossed out by a judge last month.
