Does greed get better than that statement. That should be an Insult to every customer of these long legged spiders. you should be seeing the handwriting on the wall or should I say TV screen. They are trying to grab the internet, freedom of expression, destroy competition by strangling them (us) and then taking away our ability to even stream content..by limiting choice, bandwidth, and of course being able to charge whatever they see fit. There are so few distributers left and the cable companies, along with the big telecomunications giants, are getting ready to put the cabash on our net neutrality... We have to support Netflix by reason of our own self interest, which is affordability and choice.. Don't you love spending $100+ a month for HD cable (which we have to to watch anything plus internet costs)and more for a limited selection of programs from HBO Showtime, cinemax, etc.. by the time you subscribe to all of these services, and still not have much choice, you've coughed up another $30+. People..get smart and support the competition.. instead of the competitive Greed of these mega monsters.. like Time warner, comcast, Viacom, charter and who ever else...Netflix is still a good deal more choices for movies.. and shows..Even if you have a beef with that slight of hand move..they have to survive and they are still giving us better value.
