  1. An Alternative on Netflix Throttling Heavy Renters · · Score: 1

    I am a current customer of Netflix and recently have been seeing them "slacking" in their shipping. I have wrote them several comments about this with no reply and now I know the reason.

    I am switching to Blockbuster. If anyone is like me and they drive by a Blockbuster video store almost every day, you can join their unlimited in store rental service for $30 a month. A bit higher than Netfliand you only get 2 DVD's at a time, but if you DVDShrink them every day, you could easily do at least 10 DVD's a week and feasibly 50 a month!

    I currently have about 100 movies in my queue. I think that in about 3 months, I can clear Netflix queue with Blockbuster and by then, the delay in shipments won't be as much of an inconvenience as my queue will be significantly lower.

    It may not be within the realm of conventional science but, just a thought.
