Just because a Buffet is all you can eat, doesn't make it good, unless there is a wide selection of food the customer WANTS to eat. Old, stale, bad food does not make a good buffet, nor do old, stale bad movie make for a good streaming service. Netflix streaming, with its current selection, is NOT worth 8 bucks. And since the most I can get with a one-at-a-time plan is 4 movies a month (a movie a week if the mail is moving well, makes for 2 bucks a rental - again, when the service is working well - more worth it than the streaming service, but still twice the price of red box.

Price increases are lower the higher the tier you're at. I am at the 4 DVD + streaming. My increase was only $2 a month. Although I also got hit with a separate $3 increase the beginning of the year. To me, it looks like the lower tiers got hit with the biggest increase. You have to look at all service tiers to get an average price increase.

At all. Bad PR is still, I think, the rule around corporate America, rather than the exception. I admit, I was surprised that Netflix wasn't on top of this. Maybe they'll do better in the future. If not, well, there are competitors, no? I agree that Netflix didn't handle the PR well. At all. Bad PR is still, I think, the rule around corporate America, rather than the exception.

One problem for me in all this is the way it was handled from PR and loyality to its customers perspectives. My second problem is that choosing just one or the other isn't really a good option. Eighty percent of the items in my queue aren't available via streaming. Streaming is also a problem in that my ISP can't handle the traffic at some times of the day, particularly evenings, which means I either have to wait for odd times or settle for a much lower quality picture.

Why aren't they explaining their cost increases to the public the way you have? The only reason that comes to mind is the same reason why they charged Canadians less, and why the movie reviews were all messed up for a month+, etc. Because they seem to hold their customers in contempt. Whether or not this is really true doesn't matter--it's the perception that's widely held out there, and why many people will leave--because they don't feel valued.
