On the one hand, I am limited in my monthly bandwidth by my ISP to 10 GBs (only game in town), so I wouldn’t want to pay any more $ to Netflix on top of the $5 per GB my ISP charges for overage.

On the other hand, since the above situation effectively limits me to “Netflix by mail”, I don’t want to have to subsidize their streaming movie service; therefore I want Netflix to charge extra for streaming.

Obviously there is a issue here between the content providers and the service providers. This issue will not get solved by “market forces”, it needs government regulation.

Until that happens, I feel that Netflix should charge extra for streaming so those that can’t take advantage of it don’t feel disenfranchised.

If Netflix could offer their shows in a way that was significantly more current and bountiful than other sources, I’d probably be willing to pay.
