Netflix - Almost Perfect
December 14, 2015

I have been using Netflix for about four years now. For three out of the four years I have used the DVD services where DVDs are mailed straight to your house. The DVDs came quickly, but some of them were scratched. I have no real complaints about the DVD services. I have used Netflix streaming for a year now. I believe that it should have a larger selection of movies and shows to choose from. You cannot stream nearly as many movies and shows that you can get from the DVD services. I also belive that more seasons should be available. It doesn't make sense to have the second season of a show, but not the first season. Overall Netflix is has been a good overall experience that makes it easier and cheaper to view movies from home.

I have been a Netflix customer for six months, and I enjoy the
Quality and variety of their offerings, but service is sketchy.
Sometimes I will be viewing a program and it will just quit and then a little circle comes up and begins going around and never gets past 25%. It could be an issue with my provider (Comcast), but it
Is very annoying.

Worth It
December 13, 2015

Cost Effective and way better than that paid for Cable. Cable prices are ridiculous and with their pricing, due to current economy prices, don't they show. How much they care which is None. Netflix is the way.

Billing issues
December 11, 2015

Charged my account twice a month before I caught it and would not reverse the charges, rep said it was my fault. I liked the shows they offered but cancelled due to bad customer service

In my free time I like to go and watch new and interesting shows and movies. I enjoy doing this on my favorite app, Netflix. Sometimes it is very hard to find good movies/shows on Netflix because a lot of them are old and irrelevant, or the movies that you do want to watch aren't on Netflix. For example, Netflix has a lot of Disney movies and Pixar movies but where are the classic movies that we grew up on? Where are "The Lion King" "Toy Story" "Finding Nemo"? Don't get me wrong, Netflix has some good movies but there should be more variety. When there are new movies that come out on DVD Netflix should be able to put them on there for us to watch as well. I think doing this it would make a lot of customers very happy and Netflix will even gain more customers.

Good
December 5, 2015

I love Netflix and has some main series that you might want to watch, although I dont think it is too good for movies... 9/10 movies you search and expect to be on there aren't! Even the most obvious ones. I think it needs a good update.

Movies are great but if they cost you money to view for limited times and cost 1GB of data per view it's actually cheaper to rent a dvd or get movies on demand for free with SBS on demand. Don't wait until you get your internet bill because you will have a heart attack! 1GB of data isn't enough for some movies. And 1GB of data on average prepaid costs $10-15. That one old movie for the price you can buy a copy ondvd for in stores. Incredibly expensive and misleading advertising. Nothing is free but Netflix is a joke.

Netflix isn't a great expense, so I think it's pretty decent considering the price, but very often I look for a film (obviously not super recent ones) on Netflix to find it isn't available... Many of the films on there are pretty rubbish. Perhaps better for series, like breaking bad, orange is the new black, etc.

Love Netflix
December 1, 2015

I don't have cable so I depend on Netflix. There are always great tv shows and movies to watch immediately. Keep your DVD queue filled and they send DVD's right away. Easy to return because the envelope that you receive the DVD in is also used to send it back at no cost to you.

Amazing!
November 27, 2015

Netflix has replaced my cable television. I absolutely love it! In my four years of using Netflix, we have had exactly one issue. And that was because my husband didn't understand that changing our plan would cost us way too much money. When I called to have them fix it, they put it back the way it was right away. I couldn't ask for a better company!

Netflix sucks!
November 27, 2015

Netflix sucks!
[1]The internet transmission stops on average every 60 seconds and then you need to wait about 2-3 minutes before it continues.
[2] When it returns, half the time it returns in the wrong place.
[3] In most movies it actually can't even continues and it drops out in the middle of the movie.

"Horrible" experience!
