My nieces who are toddlers can watch almost every episode of their favorite shows. I kept it only for them when half my queue vanished (most were the more popular, current movies)..Now they are going back to school, I’m canceling netflix. It’s just a waste of money and bandwidth now.

In all reality they have a horrible streaming selection. Counting Andy Griffith as 100 because they have 100 episodes is a pump number. Really they have about 8,000 streaming shows and about 6 that are worth watching.

I was an avid Netflix fan too and now I am so disappointed in the company that I canceled my subscription. Their catalogue sucks and it is just not worth it anymore.

NetFlix is great. Most of us will get over {forgot and forgive} the price hike, just like we got over {forgot and forgive} the spike in gas prices..

Since April our Netflix streaming usage has steadily climbed. Last month we used 149GB of our allotment. In the first 8 days of this month (August) we’ve used 56GB. We’re practically not watching cable tv anymore. I’m starting to worry that we are going to be using all of our 250GB each month within a few months. Hopefully , when the fall tv season starts our usage will go down again. I hope.

The company continues to downsize the amount of movies available to stream, especially tv series.

As many people already know. Most broadband providers such as Comcast put a bandwidth cap on their customers. Comcast for example has a cap of 250 gigabytes per month. However, if a customer is using anywhere near that amount or past that amount Comcast may terminate that customer and will do so without warning.

I personally love Netflix. The quality of the movies and the choices that they have is great. However, I see issues with some families who may have blue ray dvd players or PS3 systems that allow them to scream netflix on their television sets. If you live in a big family and everyone watches a few 1080p movies each day, one can easily go past the 250gb mark and have their internet shut off. Since Comcast has their own digital cable service (xfinity) now. I can only imagine how they may even limit it to less bandwidth each month just to put a stop to customers using Netflix.
