Netflix has signed a deal with AT&T to provide a so-called "fast lane" that will improve Netflix's streaming video performance for end users on AT&T's network. The companies emailed us a joint statement that reads in part, "We reached an interconnect agreement with AT&T in May and since then have been working together to provision additional interconnect capacity to improve the viewing experience of our mutual subscribers."

The statement also notes that the entire process for bringing those connections on will be complete within days. Netflix has similar deals in place with Verizon and Comcast.

Finally starting to show up in statistics.

AT&T U-Verse led the way, with its speed jumping more than one Megabit per second (Mbps) to 2.61 from 1.44 over last month and rising seven spots in the US speed index to No. 7," notes Netflix.
