Wait, what? You were violating their terms of service and you're complaining because they're raising the price you will have to pay to keep violating their terms of service? It's not like they're even threatening to cut you off.

I'm pissed they're raising my plan, but certainly you must have known you were getting away with something.

I think I have a 'good' deal with DirectTV at $65 (and that only because of a promotion and only having 1 HDTV/DVR box and 1 regular HD box), and it's still 2x the cost of Netflix.

Not really. You don't have to be in the same physical location for streaming. I don't live with my parents and use their login for streaming too.

Then you're breaking TOS and the free ride is over. Netflix is no longer the disruptor and getting comfy as an incumbent now.

Amazon's pay per view streaming rental has consistently been all but perfect play.

So Netflix is better on price. Amazon is better on getting absorbed in the movie and not being thrown back into your living room because the movie stopped.

Youtube/Google's streaming rental quality is good, even great, except three out of the four movies I tried suddenly stopped and reported elapsed time as that the entire movie had suddenly been watched. Movie had to be started over, virtually ruining the experience. They did refund the rental fee without question.

For you.

I've watched hundreds of Netflix streams from 4 different states and a dozen internet connections over the last year and I can count the number of freezes on one hand.
