I’m in St. Louis and use Charter for my internet. Just for kicks, I ran “tracert netflix.com” at a Windows command prompt and it seems that from here to Illinois, its all charter hops, but through IL, NY, and VA, the hops are various comcast.net domains.

I do realize that netflix.com likely isnt the domain of the servers actually doing the streaming, but this is still very interesting to me.
