Makes perfectly good business sense for Netflix to throttle and give priority to infrequent renters.
I don't go to movies in the theater ... it's been about 7 years now. I just hate sitting in theaters.
I liked Netflix because they had movies that Blockbuster didn't carry ... like The First Churchills, The Pallisers, Jewel in the Crown, and the Brit flicks. I watched them like crazy til Netflix started waiting an extra day to mail out new movies. I didn't like the change in service I had come to expect. So I cancelled.
Now I buy all my DVDs. I just finished watching the whole first season of 24. I'll end up selling all my collection on eBay. But it's irritating to get used to their stellar service only to realize that it has changed.
