Re: Netflix

What's more important to me, Internet access or Netflix?
Since I'm not a Netflix subscriber and don't intend to become one, they can hand-deliver their service/product if this Internet thing isn't to their liking.

Getting Netflix *is* internet access.

The issue is that Verizon basically wants money from certain network sites that Verizon customers want to use. If Verizon doesn't get the money, access by Verizon customers to that web site will get slower.

So maybe you don't use Netflix. On the other hand, maybe a service that you do want to use will be next.

Maybe you aren't a customer of Verizon. Not to worry, your big ISP will smell the blood in the water and start doing the same.

Ditto. I am waiting for Netflix to do on demand payments instead of subscriptions since I rarely watch movies.
