It was doomed from day 1. Surprised it took this long.

Just got the email from Netflix. Its laughable. We are switching to Blockbuster's service. Its cheaper and you can get games too.

Reed Hastings should be fired. He's tarnished the company's [brand] image.

Surrounded by a bunch of "Yes" men, who are afraid to tell him he was being a dumbass.

He forced me out as a customer. As soon as my rates went up 60%, I was gone.

How can you be smart enough to start a company like this, but dumb enough to run it into the ground like this?

Crazy isn't it? I'm so close to canceling it. They already forced my hand to get rid of the DVD service. If it wasn't for all the kids shows they stream that my daughter loves, I'd have canceled it already.

We still have a local Blockbuster, and their package is so much better. Sadly, they don't offer streaming. Though, Netflix has seen their streaming selection dwindle down since the Starz partnership ended.

I dont have cable till the 18th (since I moved) which is the only reason I still have streaming. Ill be cancelling before the next billing period.

I cancelled because I just didn't use it enough. Not enough good streaming available.

i think even the joke that is Time Warner advertises stuff is available on demand before its available on Netflix. i dont use netflix, but this girl i know has it. its rare to find a movie worth watching. although i did find this extremely cheesy 80s raunchy B movie to watch. entertained me for a little bit since there were boobs in it.
