I do not have to admit any such thing. I got three DVDs and we watched
them over a period of 24 hours. We're retired and live alone so we can
do what we want with our time. Then I put them in the mailbox for the
postal carrier to pick them up. In principle I got 3 discs twice a
week, 3 on Wednesday and 3 on Saturday. That would have worked out to
27 on the basis of a 30 day month. But they shorted me a couple along
the way so the best I could do was 25 for that period.

You do not know what you are talking about.

I do not need any five to seven days to watch 3 movies. We watch one
in the afternoon as soon as the discs arrive. Then we watch a second
later that night. Then we watch the third the next morning. That gives
us ample time to get the discs in the mailbox for pickup.

Your opinion is irrelevant. I watch movies the way I want to, not the
way you tell me I have to.
And I do not get slowed down appreciably. My complaint is that I am
put on the blacklist for new releases. But no big deal - after a solid
month of movies we need a break so I unsubscribe for a month or two.
Then when I resubscribe the previously backlogged movies in my queue
are miraculously now available.
