I ran into the same issue, over the same time period. I was very close
to canceling, but I noticed the service started getting back to normal
about the second week in January. If it maintains, I'll probably stay.
If it gets bad again, I'll go. It was to the point that I'd have to
report all three of my discs as lost, which isn't even an option until
6 days after I mailed them! It was very frustrating. They would then
all magically show up the very next day. Grrr.
Maybe they were trying new throttling software that was a little too
aggressive.
Frankly, I'd rather them just say "$17.95, 3 out at a time, up to 12
movies a month," and ship those 12 movies expeditiously, instead of
playing games with the receiving and shipping dates.
