Alright. And I only pay $90 a month for it, not $200 a month for it.

and they needed to pay Level 3, Cogent, XO Communications, etc before
Basic cable for me is 70/m, then another 80 for the current package we have. Then it's 10 per "HD" cable box we have and 5 for one analog box, and another 7 for the wireless modem.
All together, around 185. It sucks.
Doesn't sound like the hike is going to apply to you.
Hola Unblocker.
That being said, I don't know if simply being able to access the american netflix site will allow you to watch the american shows on a british account.

I think netflix is a great service but I think it's gonna get squeezed by these dumb cable companies and movie studios

Meh. My family doesn't have cable anymore because the rates are ridiculous. We mostly live off Netflix, Hulu+, and Amazon Prime and they have all been fantastic so far except hulu and it's dumb ads. They are lucky my father loves himself some historical Korean dramas.
I wish cable companies or dish could have an a la carte service where I can pay like $4-5 for stations I actually want.

Yes you can. Although, Hola has ads. There are also monthly options like Unblock ($5) and Ad-free time ($2!). And you are able to access EVERY region, not just the US site.
Increase the price yourselves and enjoy more content.

Yes, that's awesome. I'm using unblock-us too, well worth the price. Those 5 dollars are even canadian ones. So at the current rate that's 3.29 euro, a price I'm very to happy to pay.

This already happened in my region. (Ireland)
I had a subscription when they started the new price so I keep the old one for the next two years. I tend to get enough value out of netflix but the time I spend on it each month can be inconsistent.

Good God, no. You don't even realize what you're saying.
Huh, their model changed since the last time I used them.

I still think its nuts Netflix isnt $9.99 a month. Its a amazing service for its current price.
I would not be against them introducing a video store where you can buy or rent content.
Stuff seems to be going in and out of instant streaming library at a faster and faster rate now. Let me buy stuff, get a offline copy and own it forever, even if netflix loses the streaming / selling rights down the line.
I would think this would be a way to get stuff like HBO content into the netflix ecosystem as well. Thats never going to be on netflix streaming but if you can buy it per season like on Amazon I dont see why it wouldnt happen.

Well, I called this, less than a month ago at that. Netflix threatens the entire model that creates and distributes the shows and movies that Netflix thrives on. $8/mo with the selection they had was never going to last if people decided to use Netflix as their only source of entertaining.

When I got a email about the price raise to 7.99 in Ireland it said I will be able to keep paying the current price 6.99 per month for the next 2 years as long as I still subscribe.
I think 2 years qualifies as generous
I am extremely happy with Netflix and wouldn't have much of a problem with a small price increase. With that being said I hope they don't apply it to European countries like UK and Denmark since it looks like we'll be paying 20-25% more starting next year with the whole VAT thing.

rotate the shows/movies you removed now netflix.
This is (almost) already the case...

I'd like better notifications on when shows are being removed from Netflix. Preferably a month in advance, with a bit yellow alert banner at the top that "X shows from your queue will be removed on Y date" the first time you see it.
I hate the current system of Netflix avoiding to tell you the news until like a week before they're taken down. You're forced to either binge watch shows (and I don't like doing that) or just cope with the fact that you just can't see it anymore.

So the price went up like it did on that other thing.
God, what was that other thing? It's right on the tip of my tongue...
Oh yeah, it was LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

Thinking about canceling. Just not enough there for us to watch.
Amazon Prime Video + HBO Go + Comcast on Demand covers me for most use cases.
I feel like Netflix has really gone down hill.

When existing customers get a price hike, I will probably stop using Netflix. I am not satisfied with their movie selection at all. came home on vacation to the states after being gone for a while and wanted to watch quite a bit of movies with the wife. Out of a list of a couple dozen movies, there were only a handful on there. We are at my parents's house now and luckily a bunch of them seem to be on the HBO onDemand channel that they get.
Makes me sad that Blockbuster is gone...

Right. Are you sure you really want to go back to having to go to the store pick 1 or 2 movies from their crappy selection, stand in a line and rent them for 7-8$ which is the same price as a Netflix sub, and then have to go back every time you want to watch another movie?
You know what, Blockbuster does exist in the modern age, it's called iTunes, Amazon Video, and VUDU.

Netflix is really great especially if you don't stick to your own region. If they ever add Hulu type commercials then im out
They are only making something like $4 per subscriber, per quarter.
It is the principle, dammit!

Well, I've been with Netflix for a couple years now. So I hope mine doesn't increase, though if only $2 that is not going to make me cancel. If it ever hits $14.99 I will probably cancel.

And I just cancelled my membership. Prime will hold me over. I haven't even used Netflix since House of Cards.
What do you mean?
A tier based system would be great for people like me who only have Netflix like service for watching TV shows/movies. I would like to have access to more content even if that means paying the double price.

Amazon Prime has a lot of the same content and comes with 2 day shipping. Even with the price increase, I find it a better deal than Netflix. I'll re-sub to Netflix when they release Orange Is the New Black season 2 (and then drop it like hot nutsack when I'm done).

Yeah, the season behind thing is really annoying. Though I don't think Netflix can help it. And thankfully I have enough shows to watch that I dont mind the wait.
The one major thing I dislike about Prime is that sometimes they will have some cool show that you still have to pay for in order to watch, even with Prime. :[
I don't find their "free" selection to be that great honestly.
Amazon could have a better selection than Netflix and I still wouldn't pick Netflix over Amazon. Amazon really needs to fix their shitty interface and their streaming (at least on PC). Two big things that take away from the experience.
Don't go over $10, Netflix. And a few suggestions:
- Your Anime selection is shit. I have Crunchyroll, so I'm not too concerned, but whatever.
- Notify me earlier in advance when shit disappears from the catalog. Please.
- Too much overlap and flat out incorrect genre tags for movies and shows. Sharknado is not a romantic comedy. 21 & Over is not a cult classic.
- A way to manually remove stuff from your Recently Watched list would be great. My sister accidentally used my profile once, and now it's recommending me Bratz and The Smurfs stuff.
