They use Verizon towers.Service as as good as my Verizon company plan. Worlds better than T- Mobile
You know you are still funneling your money to Disney through Hulu right?They use Verizon towers.
The Netflix price increase doesn't bother me as much as how frequently they have raised the price. We have Prime, but hardly ever watch anything on there. Cancelled Disney+ when they fired an actress for having a conservative opinion, and I watch mostly Hulu now.
Ehh, I got it more for the ability to have 4 simultaneous streams, fwiw, we have a 75in 4K in the living room and you can definitely tell a difference in between 4K and 1080i cant imagine paying extra for 4k. shoot, i dig it that 1080p tvs are bargain basement now.
like... people do you even know how close to the tv you have to be sitting to the tv to see the difference in resolution? hint... it's pretty close
if you sit close enough and your eyes are good enough. I got a 70" tv and sit close enough that we should be able to tell the difference between 720 and 1080... but you really don't notice once you're into the story. I'd rather watch a good video at lower resolution than no story with great imageEhh, I got it more for the ability to have 4 simultaneous streams, fwiw, we have a 75in 4K in the living room and you can definitely tell a difference in between 4K and 1080
Yeah we used to run into it often (when we had the standard 2 stream package) but that was when we only had Netflix and Prime Video. We have added Disney +/ Hulu and peacock since then, so probably wouldnโt run into it as often now lolif you sit close enough and your eyes are good enough.

unless we're talking porn.
As for 4 streams... my parents use my netflix. me and my wife have netflix on 5 tvs plus phones tablets and computers. so far we've never run into an issue with going over our limit. but then we also have hulu, paramount, peacock, and prime, and we borrow d+ and hbo.
Are you all cancelling over an extra dollar per month?
this joke is older than youHow many do you have to add before it's Free????

Yes. My wife was on board with getting rid of Disney+, but it wasn't going to happen with Hulu. I'll take getting rid of half of the revenue from me for now.You know you are still funneling your money to Disney through Hulu right?
Principles? Because they bumped up a buck?Apparently some are.
Principles, or some such.
Because you live out in the sticks! ๐All we have is Netflix and Prime. Internet is very limited here. We have a verizon Hotspot, that sometimes works great, other times not so much
Very trueBecause you live out in the sticks! ๐
That's because Spectrum carries them (via fiber) to a lot of their towers. And instead of being paid for it, they wanted to be able to use their cell towers to sell their own service. Same exact service. I switched too and couldn't be happier.Service as as good as my Verizon company plan. Worlds better than T- Mobile
Where do y'all get these spectrum phones.That's because Spectrum carries them (via fiber) to a lot of their towers. And instead of being paid for it, they wanted to be able to use their cell towers to sell their own service. Same exact service. I switched too and couldn't be happier.
From Spectrum. BUT you have to have their home internet to get on the phone plan :/Where do y'all get these spectrum phones.
What scares me is that we are getting ready to move and spectrum isnโt offered out there. Iโm hoping since we have been a loyal customer for 20 years they may can work something out. I never had issues with their cable or internet, Ever year they raise the price and after about a hr of me poor mouthing and being saintly nice they drop it back downFrom Spectrum. BUT you have to have their home internet to get on the phone plan :/
You donโt to buy their phones either. We always buy unlocked I phones and just add what ever service provider you wWhere do y'all get these spectrum phones.

Well that don't work here in the sticks. ๐คฃFrom Spectrum. BUT you have to have their home internet to get on the phone plan :/
Did not know that, thank youSeveral times, with the justification that they had to lower rates in other areas to be competitive. I get that they can raise rates in the US to make up for lowering them in India, because mostly no one cares. Our household isn't one that doesn't care.
Yup:I just got an email this am saying theyโre bumping the price AGAIN! Now going to $19.99/month.
We hope youโre enjoying everything Netflix has to offer. Weโre updating our prices to bring you more great entertainment. Your monthly price will change to $19.99 on March 12, 2022. |

I bought year of Paramount in order to watch Star Trek. The wife and I have been making our way through Voyager, and were halfway through the 3rd season when it went off Netflix. We have really been enjoying Discovery, which was a surprisingly good find. What I don't like is how they release the episodes slowly. I would much rather binge through the season while the story line is fresh in my head. Coming back into it after over a month is annoying. I also wish they would release the second Season of Picard, which is also surprisingly good. I am not likely to renew for a second year. I went with the whole year because it was cheaper and I figured I will get my fill of it in that time.I love Star Trek and would love to watch the new series that are going on. But damned if in going to pay for yet ANOTHER streaming service to watch them. I won't even go the "free trial" period to watch them on general principle.
Before I dumped it, that's about what Slime Warner in High Point was charging me. The bill kept creeping upward and I finally said, enough. For as many hours as we watch it, being our primary source, $240 for a year isn't a bad deal in terms of cost per unit. Plus I like having the option of watching it while I eat lunch at work. I have learned that you need to be a little careful as they're not bashful about fully nekkid women without warning. Headphones handle the language, but the video is kind of harder to work with.Now their effective income just went up 240 bucks a year.
For the record, I cop it from a coworker, never had netflix personally.
I have paramount too. I bought in to a year of a sports streaming package for like $2/mo that included paramount. it was a heck of a deal. unfortunately the only thing i've really watched is the latest season of bluebloods, picard, and the neighborhood. i really expected more from them. they must realize they don't have enough subscribers and are licensing their content out to other services.I bought year of Paramount in order to watch Star Trek.

I found the amount of content to be somewhat limited, too.they must realize they don't have enough subscribers and are licensing their content out to other services.
How's your progress on ST Discovery? I really enjoyed the first 3 seasons but had to call it quits when Bunham started her "let's fly" comments to make the ship move. I'm dropping paramount this month. Hopefully 1883 will be done before I cancel.I bought year of Paramount in order to watch Star Trek.

The klingons were bad.i really wanted to like discovery.
but having to read the captions while the retronewklingons choked their way through the slowest of all klingon dialects...
i didn't even make it far enough to notice the wokeness.
Weโre in the middle of season 4. They just released a new episode after something like 8 weeks. Theyโre getting into some unusual time anomaly stuff related to their going forward in time. Itโs frustrating that they donโt release te who.e season at once, which I suspect they do because people would binge watch it and then cancel. In the long run, itโs going to hurt them playing it this way.How's your progress on ST Discovery?
