Real story is Netflix wants to raise their prices and this gives them someone to blame.
it's possible, but if they really were being extorted and throttling customers; it would cost them money because subs would stop paying for the service. either way, the price will definitely jump. i'd honestly pay up to 19.99 for the service. getting hulu and netflix for like 16 bucks total has always felt like a steal.

when most people are unsatisfied with a service and there's alternatives, they will exercise their right to use them. netflix isn't the only source for tv/movies. back when netflix streaming first came out, it was :flabbynsick:, i canceled several times over the years. but now it seems like they're adding new stuff monthly, along with their own studio producing exclusive content.

I quit using netflix last year tbh. theyre ok.. I just got tired of paying for shyt. the good shows they dont have and movies i want tom see they dont have either. what they need to do is be like time warner the minute it's released in the movies. it's on the network for a premium price to access it.

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that chart speculation only? do we have any proof that it's actually going to go down like that?

Hopefully Google will save us from Comcast's grasp once they expand to more cities.
