No way Netflix!
I got a promotional email from Netflix today. They would like me to forward an offer of a free month of service to my friends and family. A few months ago I would have sent it out to some people, but Netflix's service has gotten progressively worse in recent times. I'll continue to be a subscriber for a while to see how it goes, but there is no way that I'm recommending it to others at this time.

Did you know that if you watch and return movies from Netflix quickly, you will get slower service than other members who watch and return movies more slowly? Netflix recently admitted this practice fairly recently.

Yea, I remember reading about that, and am pretty sure I’ve been throttled at times. Someone should figure out cheap downloadable movies.
you mean Netflix deliberately slows things down because: a) their staff are overworked and underpaid and don’t give a chit about fast turnaround or b) it is the policy of Netflix to make a fool of their customers? strangeness on the top of strangeness, don’t ya think so?
i’m about to return my first movie from Netflix so i can’t confirm or negate your supposition but will probably find out soon enough. not that I care.
and Sam, thx for a nice comment.
I was referring to ‘b’. It seems this is/was a tactic they use/used. Much has been written about it. And yea, it is strange that they would treat customers like this. Check out Hacking Netflix for more about them. Actually, I’ve stopped Netflix for now. Not because of this, but because I just wasn’t watching the movies for weeks.
i’m back to report on Netflix — got 3 cd’s and transactions were fast, smooth and without problems.
It’s far too early to tell. I was a member for a long time and didn’t notice this until the 2nd year or so, and even then it was after a period of prolific movie watching with quick turnarounds. Hopefully they have mended their ways. They better do, now that the downloadble movie market is going to grow and compete with them.
