I've got a co-worker who says Netflix starts to pay less attention to you the longer you've been a member. IOW service gets worse.
She says this because she put "Lost in Translation" on her queue two months ago and it said "very long wait." But a co-worker put it on yesterday and it said "now." I also got "long wait."
Apparently this guy has done a study that shows if you rent more than 5 or so a month and they're losing money, your service slows down.
I haven't seen it yet tho.
I just bought that one. I don't know why. Haven't seen it yet. Hope I don't regret it. I usually don't buy them unless I really like them.
We've been Netflix members since Oct. of 2000 (same time I joined FR in fact!). We haven't noticed any lessening of service, in fact, since they've moved one of the Distribution centers to Worcester, we have GREAT service. As soon as they receive a film, we get the next one the following day!
If there is a 'wait' on the movie that's #1 in your queue, they'll hold up shipment of the next movie down for a day waiting to see if your first choice comes in. To avoid the delay in getting a new film, we check our queue from time to time to move those 'wait' movies down the list.
