Netflix, the company behind the eponymous video streaming service, said on Monday that it will not stop informing its customers that internet providers are responsible for poor video streaming quality.
Last week, Verizon sent a letter to Netflix, threatening to sue it if it did not immediately stop sending informational messages to consumers (like the one shown in the image in the article) blaming Verizon for poor quality.
The company also requested a detailed list of all users who received such messages and proof that each message was justified.

As stated in the letter, signed by Netflix's general counsel, David Hyman, the messages sent to consumers are part of a "transparency test" that ends next week, but this does not mean the end of this Netflix campaign.
“The current transparency test, to which your letter refers, is scheduled to end on June 16. We assess that we will expand it to a broader level,” wrote Hyman.
“Regardless of this specific test, we will continue to look for ways to inform our consumers about the status of the network”
Verizon has not yet responded publicly and we do not know if it has taken further legal action.
