A lot of folks responded to this by talking about how Netflix asks ISPs to put caches in the ISP locations.
That is true but it's not the point.
Netflix runs a large CDN on their own infrastructure, and rents space in various datacenters.
They "peer" from these locations to distribute their traffic, and they also buy transit to distribute their traffic. They also send traffic to ISP caches from these locations.
So they are running their own data centers, in many locations.
