I clicked on your second link and it took a while to load. Not wanting to seem like I'm putting on a tinfoil hat but what if the ISP's actually throttle the speeds to this specific site.

Nah, they wouldn't do anything like that...

Despite your “joke”... no, there are exceptionally few instances of ISPs selectively throttling. The best example was a small carrier that the FCC slapped with a fine - before Net Neutrality rules existed.

Fast.com is an example where ISPs actively throttle it.

What's your proof? It's most likely congestion in the routes that go to Netflix because of how many people use it.

Netflix released a fairly extensive study showing deliberate underprovisioning a while back.
