Actually not even close to true. Amazon, Google and Apple invested a lot of money into making sure the consumer can get to them with a minimum amount of delay. They have regional nodes all over the country so people have a minimal number of hops to go through. Netflix didn't and is now trying to catch up.
I've got a 100 mbps internet connection via x-finity and rarely have any delays with streaming content from Netflix, Apple or Amazon. I use to have some issue with Netflix, but not recently. I've never had an issue with Apple or Amazon. I've found that I see a lot more variability streaming depending on the device (Tivo, AppleTV, playstation 2) that I'm streaming to rather than the vendor (Netflix, Apple, Amazon) that I'm streaming from.
