The "post office" is what the Netflix apologists claim.

I had terrible throttling problems with Netflix and got that PO excuse,
yet I use the PO frequently and never had problems with other things.
But watch your queue anyway. You'll get a movie arrive, no movie is
acknowledged as its replacement for a day and then that movie isn't
sent unitl the next day after that, hard to blame the PO for that. I
had movies take a week to get to me at some points.

The bottom line is whether the apologists want to believe it or not,
Netflix admits to throttling, plain and clear. There is no excuse for
it.
