I have it, and it gives me something to do most of the time.

It's great, you can always use Hola chrome extension so you can see what the UK and Canada have to offer.

7/10

The only recent stuff they have are like 4 movies from 2012 and then some new, really shitty ones no one has heard of.

 

I do use it though, along with Hulu+ and Popcorn Time for what those two don't have :ph34r: :ph34r:

 

 

 

 

I need my Game of Thrones, but I'm not shelling out $25 a month for that shit. Screw you, HBO.

I like the idea, BUT I can't even get a super limited version like the Canadian or British one where I live, so 1/10.

They got some good stuff on there.

 

 

Pros:

House M.D. 8 Seasons 24 Episodes each and they're almost an hour long.

Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

Plenty of good movies.

Works on my phone.

You can give your account to your family and friends so they can help you pay.

 

Cons:

You will become a shut in and will probably never leave the house.

Stop using it, everyone needs to cancel it. They began paying TWC to stop throttling their service, and as a result the FCC now has no other choice but to rule in favor of killing "net neutrality". Our only course of action is to boycott netflix and TWC, and drive netflix into bankruptcy. I have already cancelled my account, as have 5 of my friends, over this. It might be cheap now, but it won't be for long, and then it will get commercials in order to stay afloat.

Put it this way, I had Digital Cable which costed me easily $50+ a month. It had over 1000 channels with not a single thing to watch. Netflix costs me less than $10 a month and I can watch what I want, when I want. It also gives me the power to pause and resume what I am watching. It's like having on-demand cable TV for dirt cheap. Tho after a year of having it, I can say you do tend to watch a lot of repeats. Tho you still do have the power to choose what you want to watch.

Netflix really didn't have an option, unfortunately. If they didn't pay TWC then all of Netflix's customers who have TWC will suffer with buffering or low quality. People would end up cancelling their Netflix accounts because of it. People aren't going to cancel their $8 streaming just to go back to Comcast and TWC's ridiculous rates for television. It sucks but it's just the way it is right now.

They did have another option, they could have waited for the FCC to make their decision, but now that they have paid for it, the FCC can only say "yes that's fine" whereas before, the FCC could have said no, they pay for it, you have to give them the same treatment as everyone else, you can't throttle them. Netflix has basically killed net neutrality on it's own, for no reason.
