With my (relatively small) Cable ISP in an affected country it obvious to me that any Netflix content gets served from very close to the edge, with higher bandwidth and lower latency than almost any other content from the internet.
The last mile does not appear to be close to oversubscribed either, as indicated by my firewall which tracks RTT to the first hop (which is interestingly trending down compared to the past weeks) and the occasional speedtest that never drops below nominal bandwidth (200 Mbit).
If anything it is low latency livestreaming content (i.e. Youtube, Twitch, Mixer) that should be throttled, particularly over cellular networks. I assume it's a matter of scale.
