Already texted mine. When these changes go live and start charging, going to cancel until its revoked or until a series I want gets completed and cancelled and then ill buy a month.

I buy 4 screens, give me 4 screens. Double dipping b*st*rds

I pay for the highest package and have two kids in college in different states. Netflix won't get 3 accounts out of me, they'll lose the one acct I have. They better think long and hard, because I'm just one of millions thinking the same thing. We've been customers since the DVD-by-mail days. But Netflix isn't the only game in town anymore.

Same here. Even worse, compared to their fee, you can get other services combined. They are shooting themselves on the foot .

Look, my husband is always looking for ways to trim the budget. This seems like a classic case of Fuck around and find out. 😂

Am a budget-cutting husband. Can confirm. Netflix has been gone and we are better for it!
