Personally, I think this is yet another straw-man argument since it was Comcast artificially adjusting the data rate for which Netflix was paying from within their own company. Sorry, but there were no externalities involved. As @Evernessince stated, what Comcast did amounted to double-charging for their ISP service.
These are all market rates. They don't seem to have any bearing on efficiency. Keep in mind, at market equilibrium, a natural monopoly is inherently inefficient (in order to maximize profits for the firm).
