Comcast Xbox 360 App PRIVILEGES Bandwidth For Itself Over Netflix and Hulu?

And I was wondering why HBO GO was running like raw-ass melted over ill performance last weekend. There are allegations that Comcast is privileging bandwidth for its own Xfinity app over others on the Xbox 360.
Comcast’s Xfinity TV app has been met with controversy since it debuted on the Xbox 360, and may be the latest battleground in the conflict over net neutrality. Critics claim that the ISPis privileging its Xfinity offering above competitors like Hulu and Netflix, while Comcast denies prioritizing Xfinity traffic, and maintains that it is compliant with the FCC’s net neutrality rules.
If I wasn’t concerned that this was fucking my streaming experience, I’d find it amazing.
