I always find it odd that people find fault when someone says Netflix
throttles them. Whether you think someone should only be allowed a
certain number of disks a month or not is moot. The fact is Netflix
claims you can have as many disks as you want, meaning if you turn it
over the next day, another shouldl be sent right out, not "you can get
as many as you want unless we deem it's too many, then we'll hold back
some." If somoene turns over their disks the next day, they have the
right to have the next disk in their queue sent out with the same speed
as anyone else. OR, Netflix can simply change their motto to "as many
disks as we think is fair to us." The fact you have decided what is a
"reasonable viewing habit" shows you think your opinion is the one
everyone should adhere to and that's that. After all, you've decided
what is a "reasonable viewing habit."
