I've been with Netflix for a couple months and just cancelled Blockbuster after the couple week free trial. I cancelled BB because NF shipped the movies to me faster and more movies were in stock, ready to ship. I'm in Bellevue, WA and it would only take one day for the movies to be shipped here with NF, 2-3 days for BB. The envelopes don't indicate where they were shipped from, but BB's return envelopes were going to a shipping center in nearby Seattle while NF had one 30 miles from here in Tacoma. I suspect all my NF movies were coming from there while BB's Seattle center never had the movies I wanted and they were coming from elsewhere.
I actually did have a "problem" with one Netflix dvd. It played fine in my player, but I couldn't copy it so I could burn a copy:) I reported it as scratched, they sent another copy, and that one copied fine. I did this mostly to test how they responded to this, since it was during the 2 week trial.
I was about to submit this story, oh well. One thing I found interesting was that in their press release they delcare Seattle the "First Wireless Broadband City" which an ExtremeTech article addresses from the start.
