There has been some chatter lately about the possibility of TWC
throttling CDN traffic for youtube, amazon prime, netflix, etc. One
such post:

On my system I am trying these firewall rules (probably overkill)
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
Remove them again:
sudo iptables -D INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
sudo iptables -D OUTPUT -d 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
If you want to try this, please let us know if you have good or bad results...
