That was when I finally canceled Netflix. I *knew* they were
deliberately screwing with my arrival dates. It wasn't the post office,
of that I'm certain.

How can I be sure?

Because I put two DVDs in the *same* red envelope, and their "arrival
dates" were TWO DAYS APART.


Further, I had "Wedding Crashers" on my list for two *months* up until I
canceled, and it never left Long Wait status. As soon as I was
apparently flagged as a heavy user, no new releases were available to me.

If Netflix wants to advertise, say, 15 DVDs a month for $19.95 without
throttling, I'll consider signing up again. (It'd work just like the
two-at-a-time, four-a-month-max plan.)

But advertising "unlimited" with no intention of providing it to those
who actually would use it? No way. I now know better.
