Interesting article.  I use Netflix.  He sure was watching a lot of movies though.  18-20?  I probably average 6 a month.

That sucks!! I am probably considered an average to heavy renter. I'm on the 3-at-a-time plan, and it seems to be impossible to get any more than 3 per week (12 per month) due to delivery and such.

It seems to take forever for me to get newly released films, even when I've had it in my queue since the film was out in theaters. I wonder if I'm being penalized for taking advantage of their "unlimited" rentals??

Hmm...I guess they like how slow I am because I ALWAYS get new movies the day they come out.  I'm on the 3 at a time plan but I take so long to watch the movies and return them.

Well that really sucks. Another reason that I'll just haul my butt the 3 miles to blockbuster & pay the $25 a month for as many as I want. And get to pick them out myself.
