I will definitely not be renewing BB after the trial is over. I
thought Netflix was bad but BB is actually worse. We had two disks
turned in yesterday morning. It's Tuesday afternoon and the next two
disks (which were 4 and 5 in the queue, despite the fact the 3 above
them were available now) have just now showed up in the queue and say
they won't be at our place until Thursday. Our other disk never came
and they are sending out another one, which of course, won't be here
until Thursday, meaning for a week and a half we only had 2 disks.
Goodbye BB.
