Do you guys use Netflix? And if you do, are you experiencing
deliberate delays in receiving your films?

Here is the situation:

When I first started the service, I used to get immediate turn
around (one day return and one day delivery). I watched a lot of films
that way. However, after about 10 days or so of fast turn arounds, now
films are taking 3 to 4 days to be returned and 3 to 4 days for
delivery.

The entire last week, I have received only one shipment.

My sister in law told me that Netflix deliberately slow you down
if you watch too many films. Is this true? And why do they care how
many films I watch? Do they have to pay a royalty each time a film is
rented?

These are my questions. If it is true that they are so
unscrupulous, I am going to quit them and try blockbuster. But that
seems, in some ways, too easy on them. I feel like I want to call them
up and scream at them. Or the other thing is that I heard there is
even a class action law suit going on (I am not sure if this is true).
If that is the case, I definitely want to join in the suit.


Does anyone here know the real scoop behind Netflix's business
practices? And do you think Blockbuster.com would be better?

thanx in advance.
