I reject the premise.

By VPN'ing into a different network you are -- by definition -- getting traffic 
to and from Netflix via a different peering-point, presumably one that doesn't 
have 100s, 1000s, tens of 1000s, of Netflix customers all trying to cross it at 
the same time. It may be a narrower peering point than the one FIOS is 
connected to, but it suffers FAR less contention.

You've constructed a flawed experiment, and then extrapolated massively from it.
