netflix fallout

[Chili]

We kept them through the price increase but cut back to streaming only. When we ordered disks they would sit on our TV cabinet for weeks at a time. We would stream 10 movies before watching the one that we had from the mail.

I just wish they would expand their streaming collection.

How is the mail service slow? You get them the day after they ship.

Last month it was taking 2-3 days for me to get them. I was going to cancel before Sept 1st anyway.

I was screaming "fuck that!" before the comma, and than was all cool after the comma.

I don't plan on cancelling, but i've only ever had the streaming option. So far for tv shows, its worth the 8 bucks a month.

right, same here. Their streaming service really needs some help. Judging by how they are juggling their content, they have some server limitations. And for some reason, I haven't noticed a marked improvement at all in the last 3 years or so.

I was ready to jump ship to Hulu Plus, but after subscribing it turned out to be a pretty pointless service, cancelled after the first month.

I hope they offer the people who left reduced rates in coming back, they would have to give the same promotion to the current subscribers as well, or risk even more fallout.

Don't be so quick to judge. They are just merely passing the expenses MPAA and the major networks are charging for their series/movies.

This. Hollywood realized how profitable Netflix was and is raising their contract prices to get some of the action. Netflix had to increase their prices to some extent.

That is what greed does.

[GrayStangGT]

Every time I think of something I want to watch it isn't offered on the streaming and I hate checking the mail so that only gets done once every few weeks since I pay all my bills online. Fuck em.

[Jyard]

So very true.
They already had a winning product, which is soon going to be failing.

i still think streaming is a good price

It is, till they lose the Starz stuff... the majority of the newer more popular movies available for streaming on Netflix is under the Starz license.

For my money I'd rather stream stuff from IceFilms.info for free, they have a much larger collection of movies/shows and they quality is usually better.

Crap!

I forgot to cancel...will do this weekend. Not paying that much especially now knowing the STARZ is going away.

Seems like a really dumb strategic decision to raise their prices that much. They probably could have done it in small leaps over a few years and no one would have cared at all.

Still, if they keep enough subscribers to keep their revenue flat at the higher prices then it is a win for the company because their costs will decrease.

That reminds me that I need to cancel them. They're online selection was already less than spectacular, and losing the STARZ catalog is gonna make it even worse.

I haven't had much of a problem with it, but I did hear about the Starz thing.

I just added the whole Star Trek TNG to my instant queue, that made me happy.

[mustangguy289]

They just need to quit dicking around with their shit. It seems like they change pricing monthly.

That is what greed does.
