The Verge: Netflix will stop sending messages to its subscribers blaming internet providers for poor streaming speeds — though it may start sending them again in the future. In a blog post accompanying its monthly speed reports, released today, Netflix says that it will be ending the “small-scale test” of these messages, one of which gained wide attention last week for claiming that Verizon’s network was congested.
Verizon issued a cease and desist against the messages on Thursday, claiming that Netflix could not prove that its network was at fault. While Netflix won’t be ending them immediately, it says that the tests will stop on June 16th, at which point the company will consider whether or not it should roll them out on a wider scale later on.
