I know exactly what it was like. Look at the graph in this article, and tell me you weren't fucked by lack of NN several years ago, if you were a Comcast customer: https://technical.ly/philly/2014/05/09/graph-shows-netflix-s...

Then, shortly after Netflix agreed to pay Comcast's extortion money, they had to raise rates by $1 a month. So, we're all paying extortion money to Comcast. Learn some recent history before you form an opinion.

Good, all of the damn Netflix traffic is affecting my online gaming. /s

People can bluster all they want about price increases, but this is something that's been a long time coming. Netflix has increased the scope and variety of their offerings over their lifetime, especially the addition of Netflix originals (the real ones, not the per-market-originals). I would expect an increase in price.
