Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. all compete directly with the cable companies' cable offerings.
Why would they promote a competing product unless they were forced to?

Would Pelican ever show advertisements for a competing parts site?

In markets where there's only 1 choice, TWC (for example) could say "no more netflix for our subscribers" and it wouldn't much affect subscription rates; I won't give up internet access entirely because of one site.

In markets with competing providers they could do it more subtly: slow down Netflix traffic so it's less pleasant to use, or cap bandwidth so usage during peak times is difficult. Would you, as a consumer, know enough to determine the problem was with TWC and not Netflix? Would you schedule a "some time between 8am and 5pm" appointment with FIOS just to find out? Then maybe another when FIOS is even worse? All you'd know is: TWC's movie channels and pay-per-view always work well so it's safest to stick to that.
